Honey, I think they are predicting rain.

Image taken at the Salton Sea in California. Photographing Burrowing Owls was a dream come true for me.

Not the best image for it's busy foreground but I love the owls looking up expression.

Noelle:

Very funny title, fits the image. From the looks of it, they could really use some rain there.

Agree about the business of the environment. The broken branches, large chunk of concrete, all compete with the birds.

I might consider cropping in to a portrait mode to try and eliminate as much debris as possible, lower the mid tones just a bit.

Good display of those powerful digging feet.

Cheers

Good shot though its in a harsh lighting you have controlled the exposure

Interesting stare from the owl on the left, and they blend into the surroundings nicely, even though it is full of everything. Randy makes a good point to create a veretical here.
