Artist's Comments

These guys are always glaring at me. I guess they consider it rude of me to take their photos without asking, first. I believe this is the same species of burrowing owl, but different specimens than my previous shots, but it could also be a different species. They seemed much smaller this last time.

The frame is sort of an experiment. I didn't like either black or white "matting" with this image. What do you think of it?

EDIT: Added the black edge to the image.

Hi My Dear Twin
I think you should ad a black contour line around the edge of the photo in order to define its eges - it would separate it from this border which blends into the photo - I find it to help a lot with certain pieces of mine - it's your choice but this is my subjective opinion cuz of having to deal with my own piece

Nice owl. It does seem to be glaring at you.

I'm not a big fan of the frame style, but I know lots of people like it and use it.

I prefer a black frame to outline the shot then alternate colour on black - though personally rarely frame

I think maybe the bored should be reversed or otherwise there should be a thin black line on the inside of the frame because it does seem to blend into the photo.
I love how the owl is centred in the photo and it seems to add a dramaticness to it.

Great work my friend, G
