Image of the Week #24

[Andy Stringer]

My selections for this week are:

Portrait: Pat "Snowy Owl". I know this was the only portrait submitted this week, possibly because nobody else wanted to go up against such a great shot. Whatever the reason, it's a worthy contender for the next monthly final.

Landscape: Brant "Palouse Falls at Sunrise". This was a more difficult decision but I selected Brant's shot because I've never seen anything like that before. It's well exposed from corner to corner and the composition with the rising sun works really well.

As usual, I enjoyed looking at all the entries. Thanks for your participation.

Andy - Thank you for the kind words, but this cracked me up. Thank goodness that portraits of wild animals are allowed, and that there were no other entries. I do hope we get more portraits in the future, because it is an area that I am weak at, and I learn a lot when others participate. I need good examples to learn from ( I have the "what not to do" examples down pretty good).

Brant - That was a beautiful shot... congratulations.
