Not a fan of selective colouring but this works really well, great detail.
Very nice shot I agree with stewart been a portrait shot would have worked better but non the less the colours work very well together. Welcome to TP look forward to see more of your posts.
Wow love that.
Appreciate what others have said about a portrait shot maybe looking better.
What about trying a very tight crop that really focuses on the eyes and beak, just thinking those eyes really do stand out and it might be nice to make them the feature.
Had a quick play but I won't post as you don't have edit ticked but it really does look like the owl is staring you down with a heavy crop in landscape.
Excellent Photo, wouldn't change a thing, for me the tighter crop adds interest, great execution on the selective colouring
