    It was my first time to shoot this lovely beauty. I flew from Dallas to Fl this winter, visiting cape Coral for burrowign owls was on my list. Finally, I found them.

    Nice environmental image. Wish for a tiny bit more room around the bird if you have it, and a more even light so both pupils look the same. Amazing how each eye reacts to the light. I suppose ours do the same but is not so evident?

    Wasn't it exciting to see them?

    Hello,

    This is a very nice image. I think if you move so you can have the light behind you would of give you a better light!.

    Sharp. Good basic COMP. Next time look for a clearer path to the feet through the grasses... I am not a big fan of side light as it causes exposure probelms as here: highlight side very bright, shadow side too dark...

    later and love,

    Actually, human eyes respond together. Thats one way to check for head trauma by shining a light in one eye and watching the other.

    Love the little fellas. They are so neat to see in person. I also agree that the side light makes for challenging situations and recommend the same , to relocate of you can next time.

    PS.. thanks for that info Jim I did not know that...

    Thank your guys for the very helpful comments. After coming back from shooting, I also found this problem, that problem. Maybe that's the way to leave hope and higher expection for next time.

    Yes, I should relocate a bit to get the better light.
