From the Critique Club

Very striking image, great mood and depth to the photo. Everything is beautifully detailed. I do find the tree limb to be a bit lackluster. I do not mind the business of the background. it does compete with the colors of the bird somewhat but not displeasing.

Nicely proportioned and centered well. I am not sure why the image did not do better. The border is nice and distracting. Probably came down to personal taste and you can never please everyone.

Thanks to everyone for all your wonderful comments and great suggestions in this challenge.

This picture was taken on a dark overcast rainy day and because of that
I had a hard time saturating it with color. Yes, I sort of over saturated the eyes. Yes, the background is a bit distracting.

As for the expression, I was about seven foot from the owl and everytime I would press the shutter button the owl would turn its head.
It was the red beem that the camera puts off that the owl was amused with.

Thanks again for all the comments, I am looking forward to the next challenge!

This is just so funny to the point of comical. It is one of the best expressive entries in this challenge. Need to return for the extra bump on your effort. 9

Top marks for capture! Image is a tad washed out, but this is greetings card material for sure.
