hi andy ( another andy aghhh ) lol
can you hear the cogs grinding here ...
the space to the right not needed? i know the rules state let the animal have room to move into the frame but this is a tight face shot that would look good to me without it maybe just a centimeter or two space?
and a little sharpening? could be the compression but looks a little soft!
one of my fav birds and you have captured it beautifully! well shot!

Thank you, I agree it could be a tighter crop. Yes, I love Barn owls - they are such unusual looking birds and always look a little sad!
cheers for comments!
