Hi All...

I recently got back from a trip to Florida, and had the opportunity to visit Cape Coral. This town is must-see if you're interested in burrowing owls. They have their burrows on many streets throughout the town. The town has posted white markers to warn you not to encroach too close into the owl's environment. However, with a relatively long lens you can get some great shots. Here are a few I took near the town's library.

Nice shots Tom! Aren't these little guys great to view and photograph? We came through that part of Florida about a month ago and Cape Coral's owls were on the must see list.

Great set Tom
One little suggestion these seem to be a tad on the magenta side
you might want to adjust your WB. I hope you don't mind the critique.

Great set Tom, these owls are so darn fun to watch as I'm sure you know by now. I love the head on stare in #5, can't beat that angry owl look!

Tim, the original color looks a bit more true to me, your version seems a bit green. Maybe somewhere in the middle is good. Just my taste.

Hi Tim & Ray...

Thanks for taking the time to comment on the white balance issue, and Tim, I really appreciate your taking the time to create and show the side-by-side comparison. I'll do some further adjustments to the white balance to see what I can achieve. Sometimes even the most subtle changes can make a very big difference in the quality of the photograph.

Thanks again.
Tom

Very nice! You've captured their personality. I should use their facial expression as my new "teacher face"
