As some of you know, I was able to bring home a large variety of Great Grey Owl images from recent outings. As photographing this wonderful owl gave me so much pleasure, I thought it would be appropriate to use one of the images as my Desktop Wallpaper.

Please help me to choose one from the following.....

1.

I change my wallpaper every couple of days, or every time I edit pictures! Great shots by the way!

Voted all, because if I were you I would put all of them in a folder and set the desktop background(on my Win7 and 8) to toggle between them every 10 mins. Because all are jaw dropping to me too.

OK, now you're just showing off ;). I picked 3, Harv, just because I think it is totally unique; I don't think I have ever seen this angle and pose and position ever before.

I went for #2 but its very tough call they are all good.

On windows 7 you can set it to cycle the desktop paper through a directory of shots, I have my home and office PCs setup this way.

I'd go with #5 even though I can't see it because I have a feeling it's just as good as the first 4. :p

We should all have these kinds of problems! :D

I would vote 4, but really, you should put all 4 on a rotating schedule.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
