I think if you bumped up the contrast and color saturation, it would really improve this shot. GL!

Thanks for the advice, Josh! Saturation and contrast slightly adjusted, I think it's better now.

nice work

Thanks! Advices and coments coming from experts like you and Josh are an incentive for me!

....... domestic owls???

@cocor: the photo was taken in a nursery-aviary. Those owls were trained to fly side to side of a patio, they eat on trainer's hand and we can take pictures beside them.

very nice...love the owl's so much...well done
