Burrowing Owlet at Sunset....

[David Roach]

This is the younger/smaller sibling of the owlet I posted yesterday. I wish this beauty were higher on the mound (my nose was in the grass as it was) for more smooth BG, but the light sure was sweet. Created at Brian Picollo Park at sunset. I needed to close down the aperture since I was so close (due to ropes to mark the nests); is the busy ground too distracting?

Hi David Sure like the soft light I like being able to see the entire bird feet and all Not often we get a clean view Sure wish you had more of the green bg but understand the set up

Wold increase the contact just a bit and do some work on the eyes lightening a bit !!! Doing well the little guys !!!

REPOST with Al's suggestions. Since I reproceesed from raw, I may have lightened the entire image a little and boosted the s curve slightly. Also, there was a little more room all around.

Cute little guy I like the image alot. Nice BG and details are great.

Agree with Alfreds points.

nice details. BG is little distracting (the ground part) but i guess, u did the best u cud under given conditions.
BTW, personally i liked the original post than the re-post...
