I did give this a 7 btw :) No mean feet to get still head and blurred wings. Was I wrong about the captive bird? Or is the bird tagged but released?

Beautiful shot. I love the movement, detail and stare of the bird. I love the background. 9 from me.

Great blend of focus and motion blur. Nit: the shadows on his back look kind of blue to me.

Beautifully captured! Love the movement in the frame. More than the standard owl shot as you can feel the moment of it.

Beautiful capture. The wing spread with the tilt of the head are awesome.

Well - you should be very grateful that she deigned to look your way! I'm very jealous.

You saw him and he saw you. I very much like the wave of the front wing.

Lovely and engaging shot of a captive bird. Perfect s/s for a motionless head but motion in the wing tips. Good light. Pity about the tracking aerial/handlers thong at tail of bird and cut off wing tip. Aesthetics and personal taste.
