I love the stare of the front owl - but I'm not quite convinced by the overall crop. I would like to have seen slightly more of the first owl and none of the second.

The first one carries the shot on his own, and (for me anyway) the second one distracts.

Probably my favourite birds-lovely shot!! Not sure if I would prefer the other owl to be in focus too...

8 - Nice image. Like the 'glow' effect. The blown areas distract at first but the image as a whole grows after a while, in my opinion.

That's an intense stare! Makes me wonder if this guy is real. Interesting composition - kinda like he's peeking out the window at you while the other one is watching TV on a Saturday night.
