I reedited this image shortly after I uploaded it but failed to switch them out, unfortunately. The new version has much better color. Is there a way to switch them out without loosing everything that is attached to it (comments, awards...)? Anyhow, this image won 4th place in the bird category at the San Diego County Fair this year plus it also received a donated award from the American Society of Media Photographers. :D Very exciting for me!

I have the edited version on my website. Unfortunately it is a bit compressed as well. It doesn't look it's best unless it is a TIFF or PSD and it is not compressed by transfer. :(
The color does look better though. If you want to see it :

Your choice of framing enhances the behaviour you've captured in the eye of the Owl. Awesome capture!
