Good pic and idea. Only one missing detail, owl's shadow.
In any case, congrats! |

| I thought this one was great. Keep coming back to it. Gave it a 10. Thought it might have ribboned too. I can see why it's a personal fav. I'd be very proud of it. |

| Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. This wouldn't happen to be anywhere near platform 9 3/4 would it?:-) I instantly thought Harry Potter and the Owl Delivery system; but really this little feathered friend does not want to be waiting on the tracks when Hogwarts Express comes roaring by:-) This little critter is so cute! I can't help but see that he would just *sit* there and hoot at the train as it toots it horn back to warn him of the danger of being on the tracks. I read his expression and stance is such that he is very persistent about catching his train - only someone flapping there arms and running toward him would possibly convince him to move. The focus and details on the owl are wonderful. There are of course some technicals such as deep shadows and DOF that I guess could be improved but I don't see how considering that sometimes you just have seconds to make the capture or lose it forever. Regardless of the technical details, this capture sure told me a story and gave me a smile which is a big plus if you can connect like that with your audience. |

| This is just about as cute, funky and odd as you can get. First off - this shot is like one in a million. Never seen a better photo showing the contrast between man and nature. The Owl just looks so out of place, on a railroad track of all places. =) On the photo itself, spot on. DOF is perfect and love how everything around him is oof but it still draws the line of the track out of the picture. The Owl is in good focus and has good color - plus he/she is cute. Great photo and I truly think it's a gem. 9 |
