Playful owlets
This is another owl image from my trip to SoCal when I visited Dave Salem's owl family! The youngsters were very active that evening. I had not seen this behavior before when one owlet jumps on top of a sibling and pecks on its head. The small mark on the top bird's head is a result of this playful pecking, and now he is taking revenge on his sibling.
1DX 600 II, f/5.6 1/3200sec ISO 400. handheld from vehicle that was used as a blind. I cleaned up some of the droppings on the rock.

Super interaction. A beautiful background, and you can't beat the look on his face.

A superb image with high interest content. Techs all look good.
I'd be inclined to rotate the image for a more balanced symmetry I think it will make the image much stronger.
