Where's The Pussycat ...

For this week's Sunday Challenge, the theme for which was glass.

A challenge that finally gave me an excuse to take some shots of this cute little owl. The wings, legs and head are metal, but the body is made from a single piece of orange glass.

I tried him in various positions around the garden, but decided in the end to use this shot of him sat on the roof of our smallest garden shed, mainly because I liked how the light was illuminating the glass.

Once I'd decided to go with this shot though I had to get busy with the cloning tool as the roof was covered in bird poo ... nothing to do with the owl I hasten to add!

Please view on black for best effect.

I think one [piece of bird poo would have been perfect for this shot, Paul. ;-)
I like the way the light is shining through the glass body.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Yes, perhaps I let my OCD get the better of me Amelia ... perhaps one piece of poo would have been okay! ;)

Very well framed and photographed, Paul. Super detail. I think a clone tool around the garden would be a handy addition :-)

You picked a good moment for the shot. A cloudy day can challenge making a good of this type.

7 years ago.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Bruce Dean (Puchinpa… ^club

Yes, I had to be very careful of where I positioned him and at what angle to the light ... tried loads of shots before I got this one and even then it had to be tweaked somewhat! :)

Gudrun ^club

Such a cute little owl on your shed and a well composed photo! Respect for all your bird poo cleaning efforts,I would have been too lazy for that;-)

7 years ago.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Having seen the time and effort that you put into your own photographs Gudrun I find it hard to imagine that a little time spent with the cloning tool would deter you! ;)

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to autofantasia ^club

I have so much dust on my sensor that I need to clone a lot;-) That's why I try to avoid most other cloning.

7 years ago.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Interesting you say that as I've noticed I'm now having similar problems. Do you know if this can be easily overcome ... I mean can you clean the sensor or not?

7 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to autofantasia ^club

You can do it with care, there are instructions on youtube etc. but I don't dare to do it! Sometimes Calumet in our city offer free sensor cleaning but there are queues and long waiting times so I never went there;-)
