Excellent in every way, Simon!! I really like the monochromatic shades of brown. It would be a favorite of mine too. :)

Very nice. I like the way the owl is isolated against the dark background. The opposite diagonals of the owl and the perch make for an interesting composition.

The bird looks great. The diagonal perch sets up a very dynamic and unique composition.

Aside from the yellow eyes and bill, looks like a sepia-toned B&W. Very nice !

Oh my... This is completely beautiful. I especially love the composition and the way the owl practically glows against the background.

Beautiful shot of the GG Owl. I also photographed one in Yellowstone about 10 years ago--it was very approachable.
