Hi Marcus
I do landscapes much more than so than wildlife photography. I can honestly say I have not seen a more creative and appealing wildlife shot anywhere, ever. This has enormous sales capacity and must surely be a contender for Wildlife Photographer of The Year. If you haven't entered it already you most certainly should. The reflection of the owl in the rail is what takes it to such a high level.
best wishes Ian

Thank you so much marcus!
There are many features on the site and each characteristic makes me believe even more that he a burrowing owl! Ill try to take a small picture of him and post it here as soon as possible! I did learn a lot of things! Thank u! so now I need to go grasshopper hunting for our owl

Hi Arwa, Are you two still in the middle east, I wonder how it got there :) These guys are protected and Endangered here, So I am glad you are taking good care of him. There are really no "how to keep" a burrowing owl sites, as they are protected just about everywhere, but you can read about the species and there life in the wild and maybe get some ideas...
Take care and how is Shady?

Beautiful! He looks exactly like an owl we got! Went into the pet store to get some cat food and found this owl to skinny fatherless and pretty aggressive, since there arent any wildlife rescue shelters in my city we bought him and took care of him now hes growing feathers and eating small white mice perfectly! Its so nice to see a picture of the same breed! We dont have them here in Saudi and I was wondering which breed he was!
do u have a website that we should visit to learn more about it?
Oh and great image by the way! Congratulations on the awards :)

That's very well done. You establish the track at the bottom, and then dispense with it. You capture the reflection, and what almost appears to be a pose. That is, the bird almost seems to be communicating. And the track then vaguely suggests a tail and exits right at the frame corner. It's a perfect construction. All that's in focus in the shot, should be. Everything that should not be there has been removed, as it were.

Oh, Marcus, for the last few hours I've been meaning to send you a note of CONGRATULATIONS! I was so happy to see the judges award you a DOD for this one!!!!
Mate, this is one top notch, superb image! When I saw it last night (Australian time), I was blown away by it. I went to nominate it for an award, however, Roby had beaten me to it!
So, once again, congratulations!!!! It's a stunner!
Cheers
Phil

Marcus,
You must have known you had something very special with this shot!!!
I don't need to comment on the reflection, composition, clarity or humour. Everyone else already has. This is an award winner for sure!
Like you say, there is a certain departure, but your trademark "predator stare" is still the focal point and makes this a "Marcus Armani" image.
On the lighter side, I wonder if anyone has seen those baby Chicken Hawk cartoons with Foghorn Leghorn? This little guy came right to mind when I first saw this image. :)
Great job on this one Marcus!
Andre

This is a clear departure from your usual postings. I think you have captured something here, something that tell us a bit more about you as a photograhper.
The track fading off into the distance. The owl staring at the camera. Where has he come from and where is he going? This is an image about journeys and travelers.
Well done.

Normally when the image under judgment, actually the judgment goes to the photographer. This is a priceless one can be not repeated.
Do you participate in photo contests? if you do this is a wining image.
