First time using multiple flashguns at night, not the best option for owls I know. Suggested I cross post here from the birding community

Thanks for sharing! I will copy my comments over here as well to help share some things I found really neat about your photo. You captured a bunch of cool bits of owl anatomy all in one go. Everyone should view in full size to check everything out in detail.
You got great detail of the fringe on the leading edges of the wing (silences microturbulences, highlighted below), which I don’t see very often. There’s also enough light to show the eyes are brown, not black, and the reflection gives some highlight to the tapetum lucidum (reflecting membrane at the back of the eye to enhance low light vision) without being too much. Facial disc (ring around the face of stiff feathers for capturing and reflecting sound to the ears) also stands out nicely.
