The last photo pales by comparison, and is far below the quality of much of
your other work. The slightly OOF rearmost eye, the too bright highlights,

I did use flash for a dozen frames before the first pic, but it was a
cloudy day and the light was better without it IMO so no, no flash in them.

I'm with Bruce--the portrait is beautiful. Enough DOF
to have brought both eyes into focus would have also
brought her hair into sharper focus, and the diffuse
blond halo is one of this shot's (many) strong points.
Love that bokeh.

The other shots are, IMO, not of the woman but of her relationship with the
owl, which is a much more compelling and interesting story and relationship
than the portrait that you and a few others prefer. Perhaps I look for
different things in a photograph, more meaning than the simple snap shown

I don't think that's always the case, Cotty. There have been numerous
instances where someone has seen something in a photo that someone else has
not seen. Just one example (that comes quickly to mind) is a photo that
was posted here in which a woman was smiling. Someone made a comment that

The first three are much more interesting photographs. They clearly show
the love and care the woman has for the owl, and, by showing the owl's
injured (missing?) eye one can imagine a history and a bond between them.
These are portraits that make me think about their situations and want to
