Hi Arash,

I think this is a very good image. I like the composition. The wing spread and second owl looking on is pleasing. The light beautiful. I also appreciated your link to the article on your web page. Thnak for sharing both the image and information.

Really a remarkable image. Fun to view for the playful pose of the left owl and the gaze of the other one trying to see what's going on. Quality of light is stunning. Superb processing, as is your norm.

Like the large pupils... details, light, action and image IQ. TFS your blog post

Hi Agust, thanks for your comments. It is great to have a member from Iceland on BPN. I look forward to your photographs so we can see the incredible sights of your country.

Another amazing last-light Burrowing Owl image...you certainly made the most of your opportunities with them!

Thanks for the blog article. When I saw how much you can improve the sharpness of the birds that fall outside the depth of field I was impressed. Now, I am regretting the many images I have deleted that had the second bird slightly OOF:e3 due to DOF...
Beautiful image with wonderful light.
IQ excellent.
I always give extra points for 2 sharp birds in the frame!! Kudos

Hey Gail,

I had plenty of shots with two and more eagles that I had to delete because one was OOF. I got lucky here since these guys are tiny and they stick close to each other all the time.:bg3:

Hi Arash, another amazing BO shot with not one but three in the frame. The light and colors are gorgeous. Thank you for explaining how to sharpen different strengths and radius to different subjects with varying level of sharpness. I will try next time. Loi

Stunning series of these beautiful owl's. The best part is the golden light and there eye's. Read your blog, very interesting tip thanks.
