Canon 40D
500mm +1.4 ex.
ISO 100
1/400 sec. at f/7.1
Tripod low on the ground

This little guy stands about 8" tall he is so tiny!
A hawk was overhead and he kept looking up-decided he looked cute looking up so I took this image.:)

Hi Denise - like this a lot - a little different but works for me - is that snow flakes in his eyebrows???

A true "Kodak Moment" I like the capture and expression on this little guy's face...very sharp eye and good details...congrats lady Denise...:cool:

[Alfred Forns]

Unusual view of the little guy I like it !!

[Cheryl Flory]

I especially like the sky reflection in the pupils.
How much of a crop is this? Does the full image show more of his relative size?

Lance, That is sand -(he is a burrowing owl and he digs a hole in the ground)I have one shot where his mate is digging the hole and throwing sand all over him!
Cheryl-I went in tight for this one but I have 2 -16 gig cards w/ more shots that show his size a little better-will post more when I can!
