I love this photo...and the title is well put. I like how the hand is the center of this picture...nicely put.

Cute idea and image. Less central composition would be better.

Cute shot but 75% of this shot is sweater and boring backround, as the old saw goes "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't standing close enough." Her hand and the eyes are the stoy here, I want more of them.

Great composition and overall great picture.. for me, the "jaggies" at her hand and on the top of the hat are a problem.

Comment by v5planet:
I disagree with the comment about this being too-centered. Where the owl is emphasizes the feeling of surprise implied by the title and the owl's expression. I don't think it would've worked if it had been anywhere else.

Lovely photo...

Oh! I really like this...the owl's stare really draws you in...I also like the fact that the owl is centered in the image...for me it works...this is just a really nice image.

Comment by Beagleboy:
Too bad this is so centered. A different crop would have made for a more interesting image.

9 - Very nice. Toning works well. Good composition. Criticism; mainly just wish the owl 'popped' more, but difficult, especially with the toning/contrast. Perhaps a more finely tuned crop on the right, not sure, works well as is. Up to 9 from 8.

Very cool capture, getting this owl out in the open like this! Wonderful camouflage it has. Nice focus and clarity. Didn't oversharpen. Looks like a glint of light in the eyes...did you use fill-in flash? Just curious. Only nitpick is the centering of the subject but it's not costing you anything in scoring points from me. One of my top 3 picks.

Good luck in the challenge. ;^)
