Florida Burrowing Owl Fledgling
I was on Marco Island, Florida sitting on the ground photographing this fledgling owl. To my surprise it decided to test it wings, rising off the ground and flapping furiously. I didn't have time to change the shutter speed, I had to play the hand that was dealt. I managed to keep the focus point on the face but the shutter speed did not freeze the wings, so there is motion blur. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
