Yep. . . .it is as I said: the most grossly underrated photo in dpc history! I just don't get it! This photo is a magazine cover! Well, congratulations on this amazing capture anyway!

I wonder how and where you got this. I'm just in awe.

Wow, it's like you said "say mouse" and he looked and smiled for the camera. Definitely one of the better bird images in this challenge.

WOW, very nice focus. There are so many bird shots, this one stands out. Best bird shot for this challenge. My pick for top 5.

Wow, nice capture. It's not easy to keep up with birds in flight and get good focus too.

Nice and clean and great motion. The owl seems to lack a bit of detail in the feathers.

Wow! That's sharp! Great detail in the face, eyes, and beak. Would like to see it a bit brighter...feels a tad underexposed. But that's my only real complaint. Nice job and good luck in the challenge.

Excellent job of stopping the action, very hard to do with this bird. Composition is good, although I may have left more space for it to fly into and a little more on the bottom for it to look down towards.

Perfect. The blue sky is void of any clouds which helps the bird stand out.

This looks just like the bird I put on my blog Wunday. Were you at the Pow Wow in upstate NY? Cool shot.

OhmyGOODNESS!!! I have never seen an owl in true flight like that. And you can see his face, and amazing detail in his feathers! If this one isn't on the front page at the end, it will be the most grossly underrated photo in dpc history! 10
