Nice image with a great comp and low POV.
IQ excellent as usual. Exposure is spot on.
I like the well seen feet. You have included just the right amount of environment.

Light quality is excellent, details are sharp, shooting angle is pleasing, eye contact is sweet. A very enjoyable portrait sir.

Excellent shot Arash! Everything looks great and Im glad we got him to come out enough to get the feet seen. Techs and details are perfect and I like that the eyes well lit. Glad you got to shoot these little guys.

Love the stretch. - Looks like one of our Little owls when the try to look bigger. Lovely detail
Looks a little teeny bit bright on my gear but no one else has mentioned it so it must be my monitor.

As subtle as it is, I think the feet are what make this image for me. It's not common that you see them in photos of the Burrowing Owl, so I'm glad you were able to capture this image (and share it with us!).

Looks like he owns the place with that pose. Love the thin vertical presentation, and yes, the feet complete this fine image.
