I was privileged to spend a couple of hours watching this burrowing owl family last Sunday evening near Burns, Oregon. The result was over 300 images which after editing for composition and sharpness left about 150 keepers. So, it was hard to choose but I liked this shot for having 5 of the six young owls in it with no weeds in their faces and all with a little different expression and posture.
In post processing I cropped a little to emphasize the owls and added a little sharpening, a little saturation and a little warmth. I then darkened the corners and borders and lightened the birds faces ever so slightly.
