Those Were The Days, My Friend

Don’t get him mixed up with the “Ancient One”, he’s a slimmer relative :D He has been gazing out of the window for a while ,lost in memory lane.One of the many owls under my collection.

  • smile4me replied

    Haha! I love it too, his eyes were what made me buy him! Whenever I look at my owls, I try to imagine some interesting traits about them and try to match the shot to the mood :D

    Ellen, your images bring me such tenderness and good feelings. He’s so lovely, and I love how you positioned and captured him. :)

  • smile4me replied

    Each time I get this comment from you, it really encourages me deeply to do more..because I am an artist first, photography is still a new realm for me….the desire to bring good moods and feelings is something I strive for in my work…and starting this photo gallery smile4me(my second one here) allows me to bring happy messages using another form of vehicle expression(but it also takes courage too because of my lack of experience in this). Thanks for all your comments on my work, I appreciate them all:D

    Beautiful shot, Ellen! Haha, he has the nose of koala bears!! Is he made of stone??

  • smile4me replied

    Oh yes, now that you mentioned! Cute! He’s made of clay, he is browish orange and about 4 inches tall :D

    The sepia toning really suits him, doesn’t it? It makes him look so much wiser than he already is. Such wonderful birds are Owls ;D

  • smile4me replied

    Haha! yes GG, he’s actually very young, I created an old effect around him to suit the theme :D I think they are the cutest and most adorable predatory birds, such cute hunters :D

    just beautiful ellen, i really love the sepia tones, they look so beautiful within the timber frame, such sweet eyes and expression!!

  • smile4me replied

    Thanks, I love playing with sepia tones!! I have always loved how the entire pic changes its’ look after it has been framed….and for this one, I feel it enhances the nostalgic-ness :D
