Burrowing Owl II

Wow, you really nailed this one Marc. Good job isolating him from the background and an excellent low angle. The one little twig pointing up to his belly might be a small nit to pick. A bird species I would love to photograph.

Wonderful detail here ..and cal feel its feathers ...nice BG too ..dont know if one bit more space on the right and top would have been better ...well done..

Excellent capture, Marc, just needs to be a little smaller in the frame.

Lovely setting, background and low angle Marc. i think you've clipped the toes of one of the legs.

cheers

Overall Marc a nice image with good sharpness and exposure. Habitat is great as is the BG. I too think maybe a bit more room on the right and top would make this image "feel" a bit better to me. Hard to tell what is happening with the feet and if you clippped a toe or not.

really nice, Marc. everything here looks great, just a hair tight for me too--I'd add just a tiny bit on top and bottom. but great looking bird and setting. Gary's mention of the twig is good--maybe clone out just the top part where it touches the bird?

Marc,

I adore this species and love the pose and the serious look you caught. Nice light, details & setting.

For me this image would have more impact if there were more room on the top & right, but especially the bottom where it is too tight on the feet, it looks like one foot was clipped. If you have more canvas on the original frame I would add some back in. The twig doesn't bother me.

Technically excellent Marc. I like the previous post a bit more, even with the man made perch. Only nit is the bottom clip in this one.
Well done

Love these owl's

A very nice shot of him aswell.Maybe abit more room all round, but still nice looking.

Nice Burrowing Owl. I always like the stare of this owl. They always look like they are trying to be so tough.

I like very much this one also: light was beautiful and exposure and details are awesome- I don't care about the twig but I'd add a bit more BG (that is great indeed)- Fabio

Wonderful capture Marc. I have never even seen on of these birds in the wild but maybe this year. If you had a bit more room on the bottom I think it would be an even better image.

Awesome photograph Marc! Love the stare of the owl. There are some near where I am from and I hope to be able to get a photograph(s) of these owls as well. I just hope to get something half as good as this!

Nice detail and pose!
A little more room in the frame would be great, and cloning out that little twig sticking his belly too.

I agree with the above comments but it's still a great image, well done.

Super Cool Sweet Photo Marc!!!
