It's All In The Eyes
Taken at Hoo Farm last year. I love the contrast of the owl's beak and eyes against that beautifully feathered face.

Thank you so much for this excellent feedback, especially coming from someone who captures birds and birds of prey so wonderfully

What a fantastic shot. The detail in feathers is awesome. I love how you were able to keep the lighting well balanced. Your work really shows passion for photography.

Location
This was taken at Hoo Farm Animal Kingdom Preston on the Weald Moors, Telford, Shropshire TF6 6DJTime
Around about midday, but it’s been a fair few years back and my brain isn’t what it used to be! ????Lighting
It was a lovely day in the six weeks holidays.Equipment
I took this with an Olympus SP-800UZ. Just a point and shoot moment, in all honesty.Inspiration
I love owls in general, but this guy was stunning. I fell in love with that face and those eyes, and I love the contrast of his eyes and beak against his feathers. I could have stayed there all day and snapped away at him.Editing
Absolutely none, in this case. To be frank, I don’t do a great deal of editing. It applies to most photos I take. I’ll only edit if it’s absolutely necessary.In my camera bag
At present, I have a Sony A7. I use an e-mount adapter to connect numerous lenses I’ve collected over the years.Feedback
Just look, see, watch. I do believe that to be a good photographer, you’ve got to have an eye for an image. It doesn’t matter how you capture a shot, it’s about the thought and feeling behind it. Most of my favourite photos have been taken on my phone, although I’m almost surgically attached to my camera!
