    Default Burrowing Owl with the Sunset in the Eye at ISO-8000

    I captured this image yesterday in Pembroke Pines and decided to squeeze it in for this month's theme. The sun was already on the horizon behind the clouds and trees, hence the high ISO. I never noticed before that their pupils are not perfectly round (looks to me like the lenses aperture blades got invented after looking at this guys !)

    Nikon D500 Handheld and
    AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm 1-5.6E ED VR
    ISO 8000
    f5.6 (Depth of Field = 0.47 inches)
    1/250
    500mm
    Manual Mode
    Processed on LR and PS. Neat Image Noise Reduction.
    cropped less than 20%


    All C & C's will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for looking

    This looks exceedingly good to me, Juan - especially such a nice shot at ISO 8000 on a crop sensor! I'm impressed. Great tones, framing, IQ and that wonderful reflection in the bird's eye. I don't understand what you mean by 'cropped<20%' though?

    Thank you for looking and commenting Glenn. Yes, is really impressive how this camera perform in low light. I used the "less than symbol" for the cropping comment and everything was cut after that, I corrected it.

    Wow. Certainly a contender for the August theme. Love the reflection in the eye. Nice and sharp around the eye; held up well at 8000. Some additional DOF would have been nice but you obviously didn't have any extra light to play with. Well done.

    Really nice -- love the pretty soft / muted colors and then the pop of sunset colors in the eye. IQ looks very nice especially given the ISO. TFS

    Very well done Juan. For ISO 8000, this is a very clean looking image. Love that eye. Good work.

    Will
