Short Eared Owl

Nice image. Just enough blue of the BG to create some sense of depth and dimention. Good clarity on image.

Hi William,
I like the overall color tone of this one. I also like the soft, yet detailed, look of the feathers, the long sweeping tail, and the wavy grasses in the BG. I think a vertical crop would work well with this one.

Hi Brad,
Did you shoot this one this year or is it from last winter? Sorry about not getting back to you on the e-mail. Have been real busy with an upcoming TKD test. I have also ordered a new 50D so I will be a bit tapped out on cash and not likely to take any extended photography trips for now.

Nice detail in this shot. Looks like the same short ear we got close to last year. It's been pretty dry as regards things to shoot lately. I really hope the short ears are back. If not it won't be long until we can get out to see them again.

Take care,

Steve
