Burrowing Owl in Last Light

Burrowing owls are a lot of fun to observe.  Often they look angry - almost as if they have a permanent scowl on their face.  This shot was taken in Washington State.

Tip

For many great photographs, the right light makes all the difference.  I almost didn't get the shot shown here as the sun was 98% below the horizon.  But as the sun sets, the colour of the light warms up tremendously....and hence this photograph came out with a rich, golden glow. The best light of the day occurs around sunrise and sunset.  Try to shoot during those times.
