Burrowing Owl

Hello everyone. Well Im still visiting this little guy. The other morning I went by since the sun was on the oppossite side of what I usually shot it from. To see if the green trees behind its burrow would make a good background. I was really happy with the results. C&C welcomed and encouraged.
Camera - Nikon 300s, Lense - Nikon 200-400/1.4 tc, Exposure - 1/500, Aperture - F8, ISO - 400, Metering - Multi-Segment, Manual.

Great pic and great birds . Funny how the dark area behind almost looks like a shadow of the bird

Cheers

"I was really happy with the results."

As you should be!!! Great background, pose and the detail is amazing. He almost looks like he is posed in a museum. Fantastic.

Great job on the exposure, etc. My preference would be for a bit more room at the feet.

Very nice techs on this and love the eye. Ideally, I do wish for a bit more room on bottom though.
