Hi Antino,

Wonderful sharp and beautiful owl. Did you use Gaussian Blur on background and foreground? The foreground does not look 100% natural to me. But other than that it is a great picture. Best regards Per.

I don't like the bottom of the image much but I think you probably had no choice but to stay low. Those eyes are mesmerizing, very captivating! - TFS!

May be a crop that cut out the bottom blur would work ? - Just a thought!

Antino, un ritratto fantastico, vista ingrandita l'immagine mostra i più fini dettagli, ciao Giangiorgio

Antino, una foto maravillosa, los ojos de la lechuza son fantasticos, como te mira muy seria y posa para ti, el plumaje, divino, todo muy bien y en el momento exacto. Felicitaciones, Mari

My compliments for this splendid owl,large view shows so well lot of details.
