 The image is a little soft and not as sharp as i would have preferred it as the image was taken at full zoom. I entered it as i love the pose struck by the owl.

to bad you have such a harsh shadow over the eye of the Owl...his colors (Owl's) really blend with the background alot

Don't know what I think about that shadow going right across his face. But I doubt he was going to move so you could get better light on him ;-) Shot is a little too busy for me even with the desat; possibly a more shallow DOF would have separated him from the background better.

very unfortunate for the shadow across the owl's face. Recommend to tone down the contrast a little and decrease the yellow saturation a touch. 6
