Much appreciated! I see now that my sharp photo was presented out of focus, so I am trying to figure out why. Thanks for your review!

Great find and capture of these two Great Horned Owls. The focus doesn't seem as sharp but could be resizing for site has made impact.
The composition and colors are great.

Thanks for the heads up on the focus. It was submitted sharp as a tack, but now it is presented differently. That happened to me at least once before, but that has happened with no other contest outside of FAR. I am not sure what to do about it, but it is disturbing that a contest would do that. Thanks for your review.

I think it is something to do with resizing I have had that happen - tack shrap on original resize and upload to FAR and it is slightly out of focus. Annoying
