    This year the Loxahatchee owls were in a very difficult spot. I am not very happy with the background or the couple oof branches in front of the bird, but at least there is decent feather detail.

    I do like the detail in the owl. If you don't want to clone it out, maybe cropping right below the main part of the branch at the upper left would help. I envy you seeing this bird. I wasn't successful when I was in Florida.

    This is the best shot of the 2008 Lox owls I've seen, by far, Raul.

    Difficult location this year for sure. Really nice job.

    Thanks for comments, I try a different crop as per Gayle suggestion, plus "cleaning up" the background. The second one probable over my photoshop skills, I will interested on comments regarding the digital manipulation.

    Thanks in advance for inputs.

    Same pair as the last two years. As Fabiola mentioned this is the male.
    I am not sure if they still around, I have not been in Lox for about a month.
