To me the black and white version is an absolute winner! Simply love the emphasis on the eye - a physical attribute that is the most striking of all in owls, and provides ample opportunities for some creative images such as this. I simply LOVE the eye being reproduced as near-white, and standing out in darkish surroundings. It has tremendous impact on the overall composition of the image. I found it really striking when I first saw it on the homepage of your website and was ever since waiting to comment on it and convey how much I liked it. I reckon that this has all the makings of a Ganesh Shankar classic and be remembered as one of your most memorable images, along with the very best from you. I am giving this image a perfect 10 because I don't think it'll ever slip my mind and will remain one of my all-time favourites.
