unfortunately i didnt have time to vote . but this was one of my favs .
what i particularly like about this was the way the owl seems almost caring .. if that vole was a baby owl it would look like the adult owl was carrying it somewhere safe ... unfortunately for the vole .. he wasnt a baby owl ..
many congratulations on your ribbon . such a brilliant shot . :)

A Crow In The Snow

i'm sorry but when i looked at this challenge intending to vote i realized i didnt have enough time ..
this stood out as one of the best in the challenge and was my absolute favourite .. and i would have loved to have given this a 10 .. looks like you didnt need it though .
MANY CONGRATS ON THE BLUE .. so well deserved .. :)

btw .. i loved reading your story .. and i did laugh .. i entered a koala in the extended fs in april 23 .. i called him Kevin ..
anyway .. it would be amazing if Roy ended up perching on your arm .. crows are so intelligent that i'm sure it will happen .. animals are good judges of character most of the time .. :)

What does the graveyard of lost balls look like?

Comment:
hmmmm .. probably like this .

and i'll take a wild guess that this photo belongs to a guy who loves golf .. who on earth would have such a collection ... lol ..

also its interesting to see the insides of the golf balls ... its like you cant judge a golf ball by its outer shell .. as the insides are quite unattractive .. ;)
