I look at this and see beautiful perfection. I would love to capture one of these birds in nature!!! Some day....

I did not vote on this picture but the only outstanding thing that I see that could have improved this (IMO) is that if you had done - 1 resizing - then ran a High Pass Filter on this...that would have made your bird really pop in the picture. I would be very curious to see this one beside another one with the High Pass Filter....

You have a stunning picture here...

If the owl was facing the camera this would be a contender. That slight bend of the head detracts from the image without a context explaining why.

I see the branch, but branches are boring. A scuttling mouse or something would have been an insane photo.
