Lighten image a bit, ligten right eyes (both owls), saturate the eyes, heavy crop, noise reduction and sharpen a bit.
The image does look soft but more sharpen will bring out more noise, should have expose more to the right. Taken at the last light of day, probably will bring tripod along next time. Can burrowing owls have nest up in the tree and not underground? These guys make a nest up in the tree.
Also for image like this, should I move the birds off center?
All comments and suggestions are welcome.
