    I captured this image in Cape Coral, Florida. In a normal year I would be scooting around the ground sharing space with these owls at this time. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Nice eye contact, nice habitat, I might crop up from the bottom to above the bright FG patch.

    I just love this what a super pose and the surroundings really make it for me. I would be tempted to adjust the mid tones a little to enhance a little contrast.

    Ah the good old wing strech. Nice low angle and direct look from the owl.
