Had a chance to visit a saw whet again today, this time another one in a different tree, but unfortuantely left my tripod in the car,
otherwise would have set it up with a remote cable. Just looking for any critiques on focus and sharpness here on the eyes.

Nikon Z9, 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 VR, 155mm, 1/200, f/4.8, ISO 2500;
Flash with orange filter

Image looks good. No issues with flash and does not look flashed. Is this image cropped or full frame ?

if full frame, I am wondering how come you were that close to the owl.

It is cropped a bit, but taken with a zoom. Saw Whets one can get fairly close to; there were a few other photographers there, and all were close but not too close. One guide another time even held out his finger and the owl followed his hand a bit at a distance; they tend to be stoic and sit in a spot. The flash had an orange filter on it as well and took just a couple with the flash.

Opinion # 1m +1. I like it a lot but I think it would look better if the orange were somewhere in between #1 and #2. It seems a little heavy in #1, it's all over the picture and it yellows the white and green a bit too much. On the other hand, whatever pleases you can never be wrong. ;)
Beautiful owl and image.
