an unusually slight looking creature this one is Rick. As if the short guy with the mean look and the hard fist in a street gang. super capture and well posted from your archives with notations as well!

Hi Rick,

A fantastic shot of this Burrowing Owl. He looks to be posing for you and staring right at the camera. Those big yellow eyes are amazing. Excellent colors and superb details. The background perfect and makes him stand out even more. I think this is one of the best owl pictures I have seen.

This is a fabulous image Rick. I love the soft green background. The details are fantastic. A+ !!

No need to apologize to me. I am so far behind on TN I haven't even posted anything in several weeks!! I think I have my new computer almost ready to go... new computer, new operating system, new monitor, and old brain. Not a good combination.

Thanks for the great post.

Hallo Rick
Even looking at the thumbnail only this owl eyes burnt at me. They are enormous in size and the colour is just breathtaking. I think when one looks long enough you will easily be hypnotised. This is a brilliant shot of this very fabulous looking Burrowing Owl. Stunning detail all over. Lovely pose and focus is spot-on. I just like the colour of the plumage. It looks like somebody has taken a paintbrush and dipped in white paint and just made some blotches on the feathers. Good presentation from the lens of an excellent photographer. Thanks for sharing. It was most enjoyable to look at. Have a lovely weekend.
Kind regards
Anna

Hi Rick,

Well, I don't know if he stayed long like this but he definitely seems to want you to take his picture. The eye contact is unbelivable, a fantastic shot with perfect sharpness, nicely framed with an excellent blurry background. Congratulations!

Hi Rick,
What a stunning photo. The eyes are just hypnotic. How in the .... did you get him to face you while you took the photo. Did you make the sound of a little mice? The perfect soft green BG enhances the silhoutte of the owl and matches the eyes perfectly.
TFS,
Niek
