You know, Alain, both these pictures are very nice, and have gorgeous colors. Your technique is obviously very good, too. However, I am guessing this wasn't a wildlife photo. You would be a very lucky photographer to see two perfect owls in such a short amount of time, in wildlife. The light is what's letting me know that... there's too many lights, all the same, all suspended (ceiling?).
On the other hand, if I got a chance of taking pictures even in an owl exposition, I would too, and I would probably post them as well :).

@The Obvious: You're right! No wildlife here, just a poor captive owl!
Or maybe it's wrong, the picture was taken on a very far planet with 5 suns! ;))
