 I really like this little owl at our zoo.

wondering how many people will notice the slight blue tint to the head...(some kind of reflection from above that I couldn't get rid of in basic editing)
I'm also anticipating a few comments about the cut off foot :o)

Wow, natural light and good shoot. I think is better if you could make it more closeup to the eyes. The strong point was at the eyes..

Amazing eyes. I think a different/better/closer crop would have helped this enormously. If you're sitting on a 7, ignore what I wrote ;-)
