Carlo, I am stunned by your beautiful images. These are so beautiful with such fine detail and amazing focus, further enhanced by the beautiful colour and focus on the eyes. Thanks for posting these, and if you like, you may wish also to post them to Weekly Photoshots started by Meredith (Darume) which may create a thread of many stunning owl images.

Hi Carlo, two excellent shots, I like how the twigs frame the head in the second shot.
Great work Carlo

I just love these .... owls are so very intelligent looking aren't they?
I wonder if the composition might improve if you cropped a little closer and a little off the right side - getting at the thirds idea

I like the compositions very well. Stunning images.
