Short-eared Owl



I finally purchased a camera and it turned out to be the Panasonic FZ20.  Being a real beginner with cameras, I've struggled to take pictures that are recognizable.  But, after nearly 12 hours of reading and playing around, I finally got a decent picture of a Short-eared Owl that was perched on the way out of the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management area.
 
If anyone is interested, the picture is at www.pbase.com/mickelson
 
The only editing I know how to do is crop, so even I can tell there are a bunch of things that are messed up in the picture like the water in the back is all lit up.  So, if you get a chance, please give me a few pointers after looking at the pic if you have any.  Also, there have been MANY people who have gone out of their way to help me with finding a suitable camera--thank you so much!  I've rec'd email tips, website tips, and been offered a few basic lessons (which I'll surely need), so thank you all for your kindness...
