I just returned from a week in Mexico on the Yucutan peninsula. I was walking with some friends along the golf course in Puerto Aventuras just before sunset and saw this little guy watching the action on the green. Good looking little bird.

I look forward to your comments.

Love the look -- only thing I'd try might be to clone out the branch over his right shoulder.

Nice shot in sweet light Pete. I might try a verticle crop.

I don't mind the business, as that is their actual habitat. Great shot and great light too. I would also consider the vertical crop.

Nice warm light. I might be inclined to crop this as a vertical and crop put some of the BG to concentrate more on the Owl. Just my take though.
