Hello all, this is a baby burrowing owl that was so curious that he/she came right up to the base of my monopod! He eventually went back to his burrow without ever experiencing the human hand. It was a wonderful experience for me!
I like it lot - looks a little soft on my screen - could use a tad more sharpening maybe. No problems with the HAP here and lovely eye contact.
Well done :)
Congratulations Kristin,
I like your close up pose. The colors are pleasing...I would recommend a slight sprinkle of selective sharpening on the eyes...good show...looking foward to your next one...:cool:
Hi Kristin Love the expression That bird will grow up to be a full character !!! Would only select the eyes and increase saturation, could also go tighter if yo wish !!! Love the image !!!!
You gotta be kidding me; in FLA the babies rarely come out of the burrows much less walk up to folks! I like both for their being unique. YOu might wish to lighten the shadows in the bird's right eye.
