Nominee

"Owl Texture"

A rain-drenched screech owlet sits on a poison-ivy root on a tree.

Biography: I am a practicing small animal veterinarian who began to photograph wildlife about twelve years ago. My interest started in seeing the animals and then grew into photography as I saw the photos that others were taking on trips. I am increasingly finding ways to be more creative in my photography so that the images are artistic and not merely representational.
