Nice bird macro. Good clarity and lighting.

Unfortunately voters will view this as your outtake from the bird challenge that you submitted just for the sake of suubmitting something and vote it lower because of it.

On the technical side the background is not solidly black. The detail visible on the wall is a distraction from the bird. You make have left that in an attempt to add some background interst but it will probably not work with most viewers. The contrast in this image is a little wek to start so increasing it would lessen the influence of the dots on the background and give the image a little more pop.

You might consider a color adjustment to bring out the color of the owl's eye more. There is also a little yellow around the neck that would show up more as well. That would really make it nice.

one of the best owl shots Ive seen in a long long time. Is this a real owl? or would he be stuffed?
