Dick, a sweet head shot. Not sure about the purple iris's, although they look nice with the yellow :)

I think they're more of a burgundy! :)

He's a beauty....even if he does have burgundy irises. I think they are one of the most beautiful owls you can ever see.

Lovely Snowy, Dick. I believe that the whiskers and other facial features are a bit soft, probably attributable to the low ss.
