This image was taken in Florida on Marco Island. These owls were fun to observe. All C&Cs are appreciated.

Jim:

Classic burrowing owl pose. Nice to see some variety in the foliage, as often its sand or only grass.

That said, I might consider toning down the brightest areas in the foreground.

Your bird looks sharp and well exposed.

Great light FG and BG.

[Ed Cordes]

Sharp and stunning eye. I like the environment you included. A bit of darkening of the highlights in the FG would be nice.

Great image showing the owl in a very interesting habitat. I like the sharp image in a blurred foreground and background.

Really like the nice low angle on this - lovely colors too in the surrounding scene.

Amazing shot here looks like the one eyed monster form the movie monsters inc

Nice low angle and habitat. Bird is very very sharp. With the nice BG that you have here, I would prefer a tad more room at the top. But works fine( much more than fine actually) as-is too.
