I captured this image early morning on my trip south this year to photograph Burrowing Owls in Florida. The bird was perched on a unattractive piece of PVC pipe so I moved closer to work tight. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Nice portrait and well executed given conditions. Personally, I'd rather drop shutter speed than use ISO6400. Not because I can't use that ISO, it's just I will only do if I absolutely have to.

Hi Akos, I hear you regarding dropping the shutter speed but I did not think I could go lower, the owls head is constantly moving checking it's surroundings. Fortunately the Nikon D500 with the correct exposure gives a pretty clean file at that ISO. Thank you for viewing and commenting.
