Description
This owl was deep in the brush and a ways off at one of our local settling ponds. It was moving around kind of strangely, and after getting the camera home and downloading the pictures I finally figured out what it was doing. It was eliminating leftovers from a previous meal. It just looked so happy in the first shot and so down in the last one. It was tough to get a good focus through all the brush, but I love the story of this series. I hesitated to include the last shot since it is not as good as the others, but I think it helps complete the process.
Specific Feedback
I find it kind of funny that we try to make nature “feel” the things we feel sometimes. I think this series evokes the emotion of Yuck! But it also brings me a chuckle. I know these probably would have been much better at a higher shutter speed, I’m a bit rusty, but relearning here on NPN.
