It's hard to pick a winner in this challenge because the standard is so high. But you must be in with a chance - this is fabulous.

Lovely capture of the owl.

Only slight nitpicks are the jesses flying up (not much you can do about that) and there are a couple of odd artifcts in your shot. One centre of screen and one on the left . . which sadly (once they are noticed) pull the viewers eye away from the Owl.

On the upside though - lovely bright eyes and wonderful wing position.

The shape of the bird is what makes this shot for me. I wish the background was a bit more homogeneous so that it would isolate the bird a bit more.

nice capture, the colors are very nice. what is that small object on the left, wish you had cloned it away. The head could be just a little sharper. 8

Another highly detailed and technically perfect image. Beauty, grace and style in a motion capture that would is the envy of many photographers. An image suitable for Aududon in any format. Well done.
