My first Burrowing Owl in flight! The AF fell on a wing, so the head was just a touch soft.

Hard to get this head on shot, you have done well. The eyes look sharp and that counts most.

Loi, i love the shot
You waited for this one to take off , the timing is good
The eyes look in good focus and the details are nice all over.
i even see a horizontal version of it with more sky and less tree, however i love it as presented too, congrats on your first one of this species

This is a difficult shot to get the focus right you have got it almost perfect. Like the eyes looking towards the camera. Well done !

Fun flight pose. Could see a little more sharpening around the face.

This is a nice shot Loi. Sharpness on the face looks good to me and I like the branches of the tree across the bottom.
