Love all the 'wild bunch' heads at different levels, with the two in sharp focus.
I've always liked the monochromatic color I often see in desert shots like this..
Nicely done Patrick :toast:

Quite the crew Patrick! Neat that you can stop down to f/10 and get a great background, and of course get good detail on the 'Bunch'. Nice work.

Burrowing owls are always winners, Patrick, and you did a very nice job on this bunch. Excellent image quality and the arrangement of the individuals works very well.

Nice image Patrick and good timing taking this with all eyes looking towards the viewer. Good choice on techs as well.
