Burrowing Owl
Created in Cape Coral, during Artie's Post X-mas IPT, being bait for the Red Ants, that made sure I left with some souvenirs (I men on the ground)
D300, 200-400/4 plus 1.7X
f/7.1, 1/800, ISO 1000
Since the light was warm, no noise reduction was required.
It's really an excellent image - DOF is great, composition and pose is perfect!
Great image. I really like they eyes and the clean background. Great colors also.
Fabs,
As usual, excellent work!!!
Cheers,
Mohammed
So Gorgeous Fabs I love the lifted leg and pose with a beautiful bg and a nice hint of habitat in the foreground Excellent Work!!!!
Beautifully photographed. I liked the raised foot...and although subtle I like the grains of sand glued to the grasses.
It doesn't get better Fabs. The complimentary hues of background and vegetation are soothing to the eye and speaking of eyes, the slightly angled head position creates a more natural and relaxed feeling versus a head -on stare. Sharpness is a very subjective thing so not usually relevant to critique . . but I would seem to like a wee bit more sharpening on the chest.
The Fab,
The details, exposure and composition works very well. The BG is also very nice.
I love the low light colouring o fthis shot nad the raised foot. The background fades into nothingness.
Lovely image Fabs. The background is super.

Glenn = Jealous :)
Love this image Fabs.
Really a nice image. The blade of grass running up the leg is my only nit, and I'm reaching here because it really is a great image. Was this taken during the morning fog we've had after Christmas? I know we've had two or three weeks of it here in the mornings, and it looks like you really played it to your advantage, and made a wonderful BG out of it!
Thanks everyone!Originally Posted by Canon_Bob
Bob, that is sunset light and the background :o is a house....
Fabiola, I just hope you will show us the best places once we are in the US for photographing :D
This is just perfect by the light, the lifted leg and the colors.

Thanks, Jeff!!
I'm trying to get away from over-sharpened images and it is my feeling that having the eyes sharp, it's what the image is about. So only 0.2 sharpening was applied.
Of course, as you said, it is very subjective :)
LOL - That makes it even more impressive :D Nice work!
Hi Fab,
I WAS going to show you my burrowing owls/not sure now!...yours is GREAT!

Great shot, Fabs! I like the composition and the background color. The DOF seems to be just right.
Beautiful setting and lighting. And you really got those soulful eyes sharp and good!
I love the pose and raised foot. The only thing that bugs me is that I know it is a house in the background, but it provides some very complimentary color... and I know how you like that!
Excellent image in all respects, Fabs.
Spectacular! :0
"... no noise reduction..." - trully impressed!
Beautiful image, light and composition. Lovely.
