Great photo!!Compliments Pierre!

Nice ... love the colours and the tight crop. Those eyes - awesome.

ah yes the great horned owl? i much prefer the clean pristine  snowy owl.king of  the  forest and wisdom to boot.. great emotion in the close up of the eyes.. so much detail you can see the soft texture of the feathers... take care samme

Amazing capture.. it looks like 3d .. regards

Great colors. Very good shot!

Cool work :) I like the tight crop and the sharpness and details in the shoot.

Best regards Tore

Great!. I love the framing, Pierre. Well done

Great shot. Detail, color and framing are perfect.

A beautiful capture and presentation. Love the sharpness and crop.  You should have had this up at Halloween..

Sharp with feather details and those eyes get the eye. Well done. Regards, ifti.

I have visited your portfolio before--your abstract stuff is amazing!  In this shot those eyes are what make it...then there is the feather and beak detail, including what looks like a bit of owl snot (?) on his upper lip.  Really a superb capture.  Maybe in a perfect world, some of the darker areas (especially top left and top right) could show more detail?  Very, very nice!

macro vision caught with an eagle eye in a flash...

I think I remember this look from my childhood, just before my mother gave me a whipping for some misdeed. The eyes are great; the crop is excellent - the viewer focuses on the triangle area of eyes and beak, and wants to slink away under that withering stare. It makes me feel like prey being observed by a great predator... really a bit of an emotion-stirring photo if you keep looking at it.

wonderful close-up of this angry beauty! compliments -koushik

Really beautiful work, Pierre!

Superb facial Pierre, with great title! Excellent impact shot...Regards

I swear that owl is looking directly into my soul!!! Great portrait!!!!

Perfectly sharp and beautiful. I wish my models have such beautiful eyes. Not sure about the nose though

Great shot very accurate..congratulation best regards

Such Intensity!  A magnificent shot my friend!

It may be my imagination but the owl looks tired to me. Because of that, the image amuses me. Other than the amusement, I have to say that I like it a lot.

Beautiful work.

Have the strange feeling of seeing Kaa.

"Trust in me..."  

Bagheera ?!

Florin, what Kaa has to do with  Bagheera?! Kaa is from the Star wars and Baaghera is pantera leo from the jungle! This on the picture is a simple owl!
