One last image of my little friend before I leave. It has been fascinating watching this little guy and the life in a day with with burrowing owl has been fascinating and very rewarding for me. I do pray he will be here when we return.

Amazing. He does not fly all the time. Love his hunched posture and the image design. Wish for a slightly better head angle. You might wish to get rid of the flashing white highlight just above the bird's shadow.

I also like the environmental aspect of this image. A good sense of where to find these guys. To be honest though, I'm not too sure about the profile pose (which I personally find not very flattering with owls)...I wish the face was angled more towards the viewer.
