| What a gorgeous owl. I like the shallow DOF, though I'll bet others will comment that it's too shallow. |

| Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. Look deeeeppp into my eyes and answer me 'Who?"! I can't break away - those big round yellow orbs of the hypnotic eyes on this owl! Great detail from the feathers to the beak to those staring eyes. The colors and lighting on your subject is outstanding! |

| Lovely owl, nice and sharp around the eyes and beak, good depth-of-field choice to get this and nice catchlight in the eyes. There is a slight white haze on the bottom third of the shot that is a little distracting (a typical problem when shooting through cage wire that catches the sun?) and I get the impression that he is looking slighly to left of me rather than directly at me, which I would prefer. |

Who me? (Sorry)
Really enjoy the intensity of his stare, plus you can also see the anatomical asymmetry that makes him such a terror at night. 7 |

Blurry? Maybe...
Some noise? Maybe...
But the eyes are mesmerizing, that's why I gave you a 9, technique is important but also feelings and first impresions. |

| Very nice. I would have liked a little more DOP. It could be my eyes, but the left eye seems softer on the focus than the right, and since it's such an extreme close-up, it seems important for them to be even. |

| Nice photo, and good colours. I think I would have liked it had it been cropped a little tighter, but regardless, this is still a good shot. |
