First From Cape Coral

[Joe Senzatimore]

Another foggy AM in this part of Fla. Out looking for Burrowing Owls . Found a good number of locations but the weather made for tough shooting. This was Salvaged(I hope) in PS on my laptop. Had to bump up the contrast as it was very flat due to the poor lighting conditions. Hope to do better tomorrow.

Beautiful Joe with wonderful sharp detail and incredible eye contact. Really like the clean BG too. Congratulations on a fine image.

Still pretty decent Joe, nice work, too bad the post wasn't more to the left. Great eye contact.

I like the alert pose and BG. You handled the light very well. Could you have moved a bit to your right?

[bill kominsky]

I agree with Judy Lynn, congrats on a great image.

Glad you found some Joe, but bummer about the weather. Looks to me like you did as well as you could considering the conditions. Someday I hope to be able to place natural perches out there without them getting torn down by the Owl Gestapo. This afternoon was pretty good, and plenty of owls were out while I was on my way up to the Bald Eagles nest. The eyes look a bit off on this fellow, but that could be due to the heavy processing.

Really beautiful, Joe, the eyes look like gems!

I like this a lot - the detail in the eyes is just fantastic - BG is not half bad either :)
