    Booboo seems to have confused us – I’d like to think that’s because my work comes somewhere near your standards but it’s more likely that our avatars are very similar!
    Anyway this is a fantastic shot of a beautiful bird.

    No worries Meach, i think one thing I am quickly learning here at Redbubble is that on any given day, any artist can be an inspiration to any other artists, certainly myself included. We can all learn from each other, and aspire to be excellent in our craft. Thank you for the compliment, although I feel it is too esteemed to be placed upon me. I will say, that many times the animals have the hard part of the job (and this can be interpreted in many different ways). All the same, thank you again.

    Such a gorgeous bird; amongst my favorite of the owls. My 3-year old daughter can’t seem to not call them ‘barn owls,’ and I say, “no, Elise, it is a barre-D owl,” to which she replies, “yes, a barn-D owl.” Oh well, at least she can discern a cottonmouth from a Nerodia. :) Beautiful photo, Mundy. I always enjoy your work.

    Wonderful shot…and I read your post, you are correct, every day I see new shots that inspire me to get back out and search for myself….the animal models we all choose to shoot have a harder time of it than we do! Thank you for sharing your gift…..

  • Mundy Hackett replied

    Jody Jo thank you in return, I miss Colorado and cherish always the years Iived there in the mid 1990’s. And I am jealous, it sounds like your daughter has a fabulous job!

    Very well done! Congratulations on getting this capture, it’s stunning. I’ve only been lucky enough to see owls flying overhead at dusk. And in rehabilitation programs. Amazing, so amazing. I remember weeping at the sight of a Great Grey owl, humbled by it’s presence. Thank you!

    That is a wonderful image, almost like a painting.

    Did you know that there is a group called Only Owls and this picture would fit right in.
