Burrowing Owl

Some times you can just tell when the critter has had enough. This image was created with the D300 f4 500 lens, ISO 200 7.1 shutter

That's a really great look you're getting. Just hilarious. Things are bit tight, I'd like just a little more space all around.

I love the pose and expression of the main subject. That look makes this an enjoyable image. Good exposure and detail. I do however find the bird in the background to be a bit distracting as presented. In my opinion if you would have captured this image with the background bird also looking toward the camera that this would have put this image over the top. Having said that I just want to repeat that I do like the image. It made me smile. Thanks for sharing.

Too funny! That expression is too much :-) Although I don't mind the BG bird I do find it facing too close to the edge of the frame. I know you couldn't control that, but too bad about the blade of grass perfectly obstructing the owl's leg. I love the overall mood to this image.

Rod, The expression is fantastic and the details are really nice. Does feel a bit tight but it's priceless IMO!!
