OK, my one mission this year is to capture a picture of a wild barn owl. Now if this is a wild one (and I am assuming the fact it has no leg ring or jesses) then it is a great capture. Nice exposure but would of benefitted from a tiny bit more contrast and maybe a bit more sharpening. HOwever good shot overall even if it is a captive bird.
Revised vote = 6 |

| Beautiful owl! I think with a bit more PP, this could be an outstanding image. A tighter crop, a bit more contrast, levels and usm would make this good image great! |

Adding this one to my favs! I gave you a 8, now a 9.
The owl is splendid and your photo shows natural tones, a careful editing; I really appreciate this. |

| Lovely owl. Ideally, it would be best not to have the tree in the background. |

| Image seems soft. BG is distracting. Some PP work and a different crop would help. Nice capture of a barn owl. |

| techically OK shot, but the light was not on your side that day, too flat, no highlights in the eyes |
|

| The crop would be a bit more tight. Some sharpening could help as well. Very nice shot overall. |
