Winkin' Blinkin', and Nod

Hi Everyone,

We were lucky to get a few more shots of the Eastern Screech Owl. I have read that during mating season, the male courts the female, in part by winking at her. Who better to wink than an owl?

All comments and suggestions welcome and appreciated!

Best, Pam

    clap.gif Great series Pam - wonderful expansion of your first image post.
    Also, it looks like you might have bumped-up the black point/contrast,
    and I think the image(s) look much better now!

    Thanks, Eric! I also lik the more contrasty owls better. Glad we caught the owl when we did because he's gone now. Best, Pam

    I have never made a penny via photography, so probably not qualified to give marketing advice......but based on what I see in decorative store etc.....this set if printed and framed properly could/should make money. Lots of homes I walk into that seem like Temples dedicated to worship Owls! Just the framing and capture......this could sell. May not make you rich, but who knows, might pay for some gear that you have been meaning to get your hands on!

    Wonderful and masterful!

    Cheers!

    I know that "super jealous and delighted at the same time" feeling, as I have it often when looking at your photos! Thanks so much for the compliment. Best, Pam
