Keeper was holding him outside for the kids to see at the Bay Village nature center. Light snow falling in the background.

this is an unbelivable up close capture. The dof is perfect here it shows you just what you are suposed to be looking at. Love the way the owl is looking away from you, makes it stand out from these upclose birdshots. You have a tallent with animal photographi that is for sure :)

What a cool photo. I love that you can sense, but not really clearly see, the snow falling around him. I also like that he is not looking straight at you, but one eye is fully in the light and the other more in shadow. The touch of green in the bottom left and the spots of brown in the upper right add interest too I think.

In response to your request for comment: This is overall a lovely photograph, with nice colour to it. I understand that someone is holding this animal, but I think the orientation should be portrait as opposed to landscape; this way, you could have filled the entire frame with the owl's body, and gotten more of him in the shot, even including the keeper, which I think would have added great interest. In the orientation you chose, there's a bit too much of the quite bright background. As the background also contains vertical lines, and the animal is more or less vertical, this creates for me a bit of a "stretching" of the image horizontally that detracts somewhat.

I think you may have oversharpened things a bit, because detail is lost in the feathers of the bird, making it look almost grainy in some spots. Overall, though, a neat picture.
