Sometimes it’s hard to choose an image for Monochrome Madness Challenge, other times it’s quite easy. This week it proved to be hard, as I was processing one image after another, with no satisfying result. So, I went back to my old folders, browsing, searching….until I stumbled upon these two.
This is an image from way back, spring of 2006, taken in Zagreb Zoo with Olympus C7070. I started to play around with it and the result surprised me. I did some cropping and it really improved the composition, I feel like there is a story in there. They are really gorgeous, those tinny, grumpy owls.
Be sure to check all the other marvelous entries on Leanne Cole’s blog Leanne Cole PHOTOGRAPHY. If you’d like to participate, you’ll find all the details at the bottom of her post.
