Excellent flight shot of this beauty, David. It fits in well in the environment. I plan to go back where they have this magnificent Owl as soon as I can and hope for a flight shot.

Excellent flight angle and flight pose with good-looking natural habitat. The detail is terrific and stands out beautifully in the large version. The orange eyes are the icing on the cake! Beautifully done, Dave!

A thing of beauty, Dave.  The grass land, to the trees in the background the whole setup situation is perfect as is the light.  Without saying, the owl is in a terrific position and wonderfully positioned within the overall image. The colors of the owl have an overall very nice richness about them that I think helps separate him from the background. On a side note, this owl appears to have been taken care of very well. Very well done and very well thought out image.

Congrats on well deserved EP !!

Thank you Mary and Warren. Typing "appreciated " seems a tiny bit inadequate. Thank you both.
