Burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia)

Now I am again back in cold Germany and would like still for the many hints to Florida to thank you here. It was really class there.

A classic of Cape Coral.

Love the 3D type effect using the out of focus foreground, possibly a little too much contrast IMHO

A beautiful shot - look at the detail in the iris - wow that's a fine shot.

Lovely shot, Frank! Excellent light, details, eye contact and POV. Very nicely done.

The detail in the eyes is amazing ,very fine feather detail to top it off.
