Here is installment number 3 from the blackbird/owl fly-by. This is one of my personal favorites of the series because I love the look on the owl's face.

So far my favorite look on the owls face. This should be title INDIFFERENCE. Looks like he's nodding off for a quick nap with those droopy eyes. I also like how you leveled the background transition on this one. Another great image Kurt. One of these should get the WP. :) :toast:

Interesting perspectives, Kurt. Excellent image, but it just doesn't connect with me like the last one did. For some reason it feels like I'm looking at two different images even though the interaction is obviously there. I think it may be because it looks as if the owl is staring right past the blackbird.

Kurt,
Stunning shot. Priceless owl expression. Could he be less interested in the Blackbird? Congratulations on the weekly pick. :toast:
