A very good effort with lovely colors. Bumping up.

Comment by jpochard:
What a great capture of this guy! How close were you? I would have cropped it vertically and blurred the background some to isolate the owl a bit more. I really like the angle of the two large branches, and the way he's looking right at you. I might also experiment with some dodging and burning to see about setting him apart and making the eyes pop a bit more.

All that being said, I really like it just the way it is as well!

A good effort, Like the deep bblue - but I think this would work better if the skin was in a higher key - as it is, at this range I can see imperfections on the skin which are a little distracting.

The limited colour range and composition make this very compelling.

nicely done, though not as clean as the original and the placement of the droplet isn't as graceful as in the original. Good try tho!
