hanging on to a little perch like that can't be comfortable. :) Nice detail and clean shot

A very nice portrait. There is a slight magenta colorcast on the image.

Nice stately image of the owl. There appear to be some funky blurred edges on the perch suggesting cloning.

Wow! not easy to get a GHO in the open and standing on top of a perch like this, so well done getting this one.
Fixing the cloning issue with the perch and the posterizing in the BG will make for a nice finished product. Well done
