Weekly Photo Challenge: Cover Art
I’m not sure that this is really a great fit for this week’s challenge but I decided to use it as I thought it might make a good album cover. I also chose it as it was attempt to take a photo and make it more like a work of art. I took this photo in Yellowstone Park a few weeks back. This Osprey was sitting at the very top of a tree and decided to take off – nicely into the sun. I caught a nice sequence of photos but this is my favorite because of the wing positions, the claws, and the eyes of the great bird. It certainly conveys to me what it might be like to be able to fly…..I fine theme for an album.

Janet – Thank you so much! I have seen Robert Bateman’s work and always liked it but had forgotten the style. I just went back through many of his works to get some ideas. I am working on one of leopard photos to try and emulate one of his (but of course with my own feel). You’ll probably see it on the blog soon – let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Thanks Anita – I’m always pleased when I can get the real character of an animals eyes – it really makes the photos.
