Gary, excellent stare, details, BG and exposure. Burrowing owls are terrific subjects.

If mine, I'd move the bird a little to the right in the frame for better balance. Cropping a bit from right will also achieve that.

Excellent image, beutifu lose and great background, Gary. I would darken the perch a little bit.

Love that stare Gary - and this rendition of the Burrowing owl has improved contrast and colour compared to your last post. A very nice portrait.

I like the pose, eye contact details and sharpness. I would tone down the perch and crop using Kaustubh's recommendation.
