wow that's an awesome photo!

the only thing I would think about is maybe some noise reduction... just a slight amount though, so that you don't lose too much detail in the owl... or maybe noise reduce a copy of the photo and then layer it in photoshop so that you can have a nice noiseless background and a sharp bird... the only reason that the noise bothers me is that it's so close to the subject. Great shot though!

Awesome shot indeed!

In my opinion..... I wouldn't touch a thing. I don's see any noise on my screen.:thumbup:

^^ That's kind of a weird and random post.

I love the photo and it is an awesome capture. I agree with Robert about the noise issues. If you could do a little noise reduction on just the background I think it would clean up the image a lot (for me at least).
