Thanks guys for the comments! Believe it or not, of all my work, this is the one I sell the most. Not sure if you remember the Afghan girl that National Geographic photographed years ago? If you compare the eyes of the girl and the eyes of the owl I photographed, they're almost identical. In fact, while doing a show in Ohio, I had a retired National Geographic photographer and writer walk in my booth and commented on the resemblance. It totally blew my mind! Some of his work is on the Voyager Space Craft flying through space depicting what our planet is like. He was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for his work.

Here are the two side by side. What do you think? Are the eyes somewhat close?

Must be difficult when you consider all the critters you have living around you.

Don't get out near as much as I'd like to. But I finally bought an ATV this year, so it's helping me get out a bit more now. I hope to do a little predator hunting this winter. There are wolves close by that need thinning if we want to have any moose left in the area.
