Great comp and detail Richard, love the eye contact 
Technically this photo isn't half as good as yesterdays upload, but its funny how bird photos always do better.
Thoughts on a postcard please as Epz have still got me on a ban from Private Messaging for retaliating against a member and being totally honest with regards to a critique, but there again they were part of the 'club' and still are and who I suspect can still message.
Life sucks but its not about Photography anymore its like facebook lately on here.
Might not be on here for a couple of days, as sadly Aunt Maud is in Hospital after having a fall at home due to tripping over her knitting

Lol 
Here Here I loathe flamin facebook
I think you have captured the owl very well Richard and that if you had used the 800 you may have lost some of the natural feel of the shot (aware that it is captive not wild!
). These burrowing owls are endearing little souls and you can't fail to have a winner with them! Certainly with you on this VS mode - hope Maud gets better and doesn't drop too many stitches whilst incarcerated

seems a long time ago since yesterday and I cant remember if I popped in to see the pic but will have a gander now Like the upload today - probably the VS is what I accidentally got caught up in then

Echo your thoughts on Facebook and VS.
Excellent image of the Burrowing Owl. A cracker.
