I've been lucky to get some shots of a Barred Owl in the past but this one is new from this past weekend. This time he was a lot more cooperative with his pose and his perch.

I love April. It's a great month for new beginnings. That's why I've chosen today to introduce my new photographic style. I've come up with a new look that is straight-out-of-camera, and I'm very excited about it. From now on, I'll be working in this style. C&C welcome.
Your new style must be taking hold. You aleady have 8 likes!
Nice, fresh perspective of the Korean War monument in Washington, DC. Not the usual composition.

Very nice Phrasikleia. I'm looking forward to seeing this on your website with a tutorial.
Certainly was, if you are talking about Jessops! Although we didn't win anything it was quite a fun weekend with the family as we all took pictures and entered them.
Hopefully still got a chance as there has been a mini-uproar that a few of the winners simply stole the pictures off stock photography sites or from DevientArt.
Did you enter?
Yep - I thought that your photo was far better than any of the ones picked. Think it was picked at random TBH.
Like to see your shot? I have to agree at some of the dubious judging, I don't mind lower quality winners with a good creative idea but some of them were just odd! I think they are looking to help people that don't already have a DSLR. It was really for my sister as she is keen to get into photography but doesn't have a camera so she camera up with some ideas and took them on my camera.
For todays competition we have gone the budget route and taken all our entries on an iphone!
If you go on the last page of Photo of the Day: March 2013 then you will spot it - had some fun with a blow torch to make a smiley Easter egg. Not the greatest idea, but it kept me entertained for half an hour
One other from my recent trip home. I'm a sucker for falling snow--kind of peaceful.
I don't usually use a wide-angle lens (though I guess *technically* my usual 35mm counts as wide). I find composition significantly harder at short focal lengths.
Took this with a 24mm lens. I initially passed over it, but keep looking at it again as I review the photos from my trip.

Damn it Phras. another photog. trend I've got to slavishly copy. Thanks.
Can you give me a hint to getting started? If I use the mirror-lock facility, breathe heavily on the sensor to fog it up, do I then use the hanky that's been in my back pocket for 3 months to wipe it, or just leave the spittle to dry hard?
Nice. I love the multiple shades of grey, the lines, very well done.

LOL... And this is a self portrait...
Didn't notice this yesterday, but a very timely warning for the tourists, there have been a string of attacks in our neck of the woods lately, especially with them having an extended breeding cycle because of the GM Gum leaves they have been eating. 2 Swedish backpackers were attacked last week in the Cleland Conservation Park, here in Adelaide.
The Lakeland landscape is still a tawny tundra, as spring seems to have been postponed... indefinitely. We've just had the coldest March since reports began...

Many thanks to everyone who commented on my last photo. Of course such lavish praise and philosophical analysis is to be expected for a stunning masterpiece like that one, but I appreciate it nonetheless. Sadly and inexplicably, I find myself unable to recreate the magic that I had on April 1. The muse seems to have left me. I guess I'll just have to go back to working in my old style again, alas...
P.S. Seriously, I must say that the comments were even funnier than the photo. I was in stitches reading them. Too many good ones to reply individually!
