Wouldn't let me embed two images into the last post so here's the other one.

Ha ha, I spent some time on the first picture looking for the second owl, came up empty until this post. I thought you had both in one shot.

I prefer them to look like a painting, or artsy, I actually strive to do that a lot of times. I most times feature the bird, but if it has a good background I try to incorporate that in it too, too many tight shots makes Jack a dull boy...
I think you did good, after the painting dries, hang it up. heheh

I second that; check out the reticulation on the wings, and the gorgeous colours...lovely!
