This is a photo of a Great Horned Owl from the North Carolina Raptor Center. I made a visit to this center today and was completely amazed at the birds they have on hand. This facility rehabilitates birds that have been injured or disabled in any way and release them back into the wild whenever possible.

This is one I where I did get a vote made - although I am not sure that had I finished voting it might not have gone up a point. The feather detail is superb as is the light
Good focus on the eye. I like this image a lot, good colours, nice composition, good contrast (except for that little highlight blowout in the middleleft). I have my doubts about the border, but that doesn't really matter. 9
This is beautiful! A wonderful, majestic subject that you captured with such regalness (is that a word?) :-) Anyways, I love the lighting, the textures and the colors. Owls are great animals to watch!
