Nice skies and reflection. Foreground is a bit distracting.

Tough angle to the sun. I like the foreground rock and grasses. The frame is a negative.

Great landscape. I like the use of the grass in the foreground. Definitley HDR techniques, but not overdone.

Love how the branches frame him. I have yet to capture an owl in the wild; one flew right overhead once but disappeared into the trees before I could react. I'm jealous!
