    Default Florida Burrowing Owlet... Wing Stretch and Stomp

    When I view this image the thought of a Sumo Wrestler comes to mind. At the beginning of a match the arms are raised to show that they have no weapons and the feet are stomped to get rid of evil spirits on the ground. This little guy was doing that while looking me straight in the eyes. I captured this image in Cape Coral, Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Wonderful moment captured, Joe. Like your description. They will always put a smile on my face. Nice soft light, detail and the sandy mound created by their burrowing nest building.

    LOL at the description! I like the pose and facial expression. Good background, although I see a repeating flower at right edge. With the sand so bright I could see a version with some trimmed off the bottom and more added above, if you have it.

    Nice pose and description! Agree with Daniel on the crop suggestion. These guys really are full of character and this image captures that very well. TFS
