Huntington Beach Central Park this morning... thanks to my favorite "bird spotter", S. Smith. Played with different compositions and decided to go with the pano as it seemed emphasize the peekaboo aspect of the image.

Canon 20D, 500/4 + 1.4x, Manual Mode, f6.3 @ 1/320, 580 with BB, HSS @ +1/3, Iso 400.

As always thanks for all comments and suggestions...

Vince, Excellent composition. I would darker the eyes some since your flash was not off camera enough.

Jim
Enjoy viewing

Terrific shot! This is a case where a centered subject works very well.

The pano crop would not have occured to most image makers, myself included. You made a "cute" image unusual and artistic. Well done.

Vincent, this a great shot and super cute !!!!!!!!! I would trim a little bit at the left though, you do not need that out of focus branch. Except for that, I just love it !!!!!!!!!! ---------- Ligia

Nice shot of the fledgling. I'm not sure about the composition. Maybe pano with the owl more off center
