Love those eyes and the detail in the feathers.

What a gorgeous owl. I like the shallow DOF, though I'll bet others will comment that it's too shallow.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. Look deeeeppp into my eyes and answer me 'Who?"! I can't break away - those big round yellow orbs of the hypnotic eyes on this owl! Great detail from the feathers to the beak to those staring eyes. The colors and lighting on your subject is outstanding!

Lovely owl, nice and sharp around the eyes and beak, good depth-of-field choice to get this and nice catchlight in the eyes. There is a slight white haze on the bottom third of the shot that is a little distracting (a typical problem when shooting through cage wire that catches the sun?) and I get the impression that he is looking slighly to left of me rather than directly at me, which I would prefer.

Very nice. I would have liked a little more DOP. It could be my eyes, but the left eye seems softer on the focus than the right, and since it's such an extreme close-up, it seems important for them to be even.

The eyes are mesmerizing!

Those eyes slay me. Great detail on the face. Really pops from the background. Great dof.

Nice photo, and good colours. I think I would have liked it had it been cropped a little tighter, but regardless, this is still a good shot.

Personally, I think its hard not to take a good picture of an owl, what with those big eyes and all. :) This one is no exception.

I like the colors of the bg, the focus is nice and the eyes are crisp, but this feels a bit over sharpened.
