I watched this burrowing owl scan the skies for quite some time before he called to his mate to emerge from the burrow. This was my first encounter with a burrowing owl and I took several gigs of photos of this guy and others in the Coral Gables area.
Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.

Great capture of the burrowing owl and I love the low angle. I agree about adding a littlle canvas to the top and bottom as well as to the right so as to off center the subject. As mentioned a little touch of USM too. Nice work and thanks for sharing Gayle.
I added canvas and did another round of sharpening as suggested. Also, I lightened the owl in the first post and decided it looked rather washed out as posted. Should I have left that alone?
