Support Excellent image quality. Composition is fine - it would be ideal, of course, if it was focus-bracketed so that all five owls were in sharp focus, but that would be asking too much. Regarding EV, File:Burrowing Owl 4354.jpg seems to do a better job of showing burrowing owl's talons etc but this picture illustrates the diversity in appearance of burrowing owls and it seems they live in burrows in the grass too.

Weak Support Purpy Pupple's criticism in mind, it's as good as it can be without all owls in focus. Cat-five t c ---- 06:51, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral It's a frustrating image for me. Really neat subject matter, but really awkwardly cropped (is it tight? I can't tell), and way too much foreground. But it's also an incredible shot. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 05:46, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
