Burrowing owl. walking pose

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

havent found the time to do any photography lately. going through old files.

40D. 400f5.6L at f/6.3. 1/2000s. iso 800. If I had guessed that the bird would come so close, I'd have stopped down a bit more.

All comments welcome.

Like the stance and the stare very much, as well as the interest in the FG and the clean BG. It looks a tad bright to me. I think I would multiply the layer and add some opacity. I tried it at 40% and personally feel it looks good.

Great pose, I would also tone it down some and maybe add some contrast.
Nice that you have the access to these fine fellows.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Great raised foot and eye contact. I also like the little stones

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the pose, raised foot, eye contact, low angle and BG. Well done Kaustubh!

[arash_hazeghi]

nice pose and light Kaustubh. I agree with it looks a bit washed out and can benefit from contrast adjustment

[Craig Kerr]

A great pose Kaustubh, leg up and superb eye contact...
More contrast would add to the image.

Hi Kaus, good eye contact, and just love the raised foot, as if he's going to have a grab at you. Your comp works well, and I really like the colourful BG.

[Grace Scalzo]

The only slight tweaks that I might suggest have already been mentioned. The image is so eye-catching with the pose and sweet background.

[Dumay de Boulle]

OOH thats nice, I really like the arised foot and the colors and sharpness look excellent...Nicely done!

[Roman Kurywczak]

Besides toning down the brightness a touch.....easy tweak.....this is awesome! Love the environs and pose!!!
