Branch obscuring part of owl is a little distracting. When photographing birds sometimes you have to take what you can get. Perhaps a bit oversharpened.

Nice Owl, but I think they look this way all of the time. How do I know it isn't Hungrey instead of bored? Something about the focus bothers me as well, it seems to make the survice of the image a bit active.

wonderful Great Horned owl, do wild animals get bored? To busy raising young, surviving, eating, or displaying to attract a mate. So this probably doesn't meet the challenge to me.

Too much sharpness, makes it look flat and unreal. Nice shot otherwise.

Why would this shot convey boredom? Don't get me wrong - technically this shot is superb, and if entered in a wildlife challenge, it would do well. I think the look of this owl is the opposite of boredom - it looks tense and focused.

Nice owl shot. Lucky you to have seen what appears to be a great horned owl in person! The detail in the feathers is just lovely. Did you stretch the challenge topic a bit? I think so. But I can't blame you for wanting to show this off. It would, of course, be more perfect without the upright branch, if you could have just gotten a little different perspective on it...

I like the owl but I wish you would have moved slightly so that the branch was not occluding him.

not too bored looking

lol Its definitely not amused!
Great shot, though I'm not sure it depicts boredom... awareness, maybe...
I believe you oversharpened the image, because I can see tiny dots on the sky area. But, overall, you have a very nice shot. I'll give it an 8.
