Very nice Greg. Beautiful detail. Two very minor suggestions.
1)Face is a little shaded. In photohop with the burn tool, just a little around the eye to bring out more definition and shine to the eye. 2) For future shots; since this is a captive bird and you have more control, try to move the subject somewhere with a neutral background. Alot is going on in yours,(maybe a different angle, if subject can't be moved). My feeling is I
don't want the viewer to know that it is a captive bird. Great
shot!

I like this one Greg, a little dark in the face for me, but a winner for sure.

Great shot Eggz. I am glad we didn't have owl for dinner yesterday. Or did we? You did your normal excellent shot on this. It is always a pleasure to view your posts.

Ok, now this is just silly. Your photos are SOOO good I am not sure if I should feel inspired to try for, or ashamed for my own quality..
Nah, just kidding. This is truly an inspiration, something to aspire to. Such clarity and vision.
