    Interesting, but...

    Hmmm, while this has a nice surreal poster quality to it, there are some curious discrepancies... why is the vole's shadow black and the owl's gray? Even at the same comparative distance from the body. What happened to the vole's footprints? And how did the owl make that landing and not disturb the snow? Anyway, I think your portfolio is magnificent and you definitely set the bar for us beginners.

     

    Well William, I would guess the Vole has a darker shadow because he is not semi-translucent like the Owl's wings would be thus allowing more light through?

     

    The Vole's footprints were not visible on the snow. Beats me why.

     

    I don't understand what you mean by the Owl landing and not disturbing the snow? He is in flight in this shot. He is about to grab the Vole in flight and then continue flying off. This was shot about 1/25th of a second before he hit the Vole. He never actually hit the ground when grabbing this snack.

     

    Thanks for the kind words about my portfolio and glad you enjoyed the images. :)
