Barn Owl

Hey, Olivia!
I thought I'd write a little critique for you, so here it is.
First thing is: You upload pictures looking for quality, and not for quantity. That makes you a very authentic artist.
Second: This picture you took is very beautiful. I was stunned and I still cannot stop looking at this beautiful animal!
This owl is totally beautiful, and you captured it very well. Apart from the technical devices (like sharpness, colors etc) being perfect, you captured a moment the owl seems to be thoughtful. That's what I love about these animals. The light shining on the top of the owl creates a great atmosphere.
The composition is awesome! It is emphasizing the impression of thoughtfulness, because there is much space for thoughts.
The only thing I could give a little point of critique would be that the whole owl is not exactly sharp. Can you see the parts between the wing and the face? With these dots on it? This could have been a bit sharper, but you know me, I'm a focus-fetishist <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="" title="Sweating a little..."/>
You are very talented in taking pictures of animals, Oli!

Please, please keep it up!
