Description

It had already been a successful photo outing yesterday when this huge Great-Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) flew into a nearby tree after I returned its call, looking curious and mildly irritated. As it studied me from its perch and apparently determined I was not worth attacking, it gave me a brief photo opportunity in great evening light before silently flying over my head and out of sight. I can now say this was one of my best outings of the past year. Union Grove Park, Stillhouse Hollow Lake, Bell County, Texas.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America, and have been recognized in international photography venues. My photo, "Blue Norther," was selected by the nonprofit Texas Bluebird Society for its 2010 membership announcements. My most requested photo, "Rowers' Arc," was selected as an Editors' Choice on 500px, as well as a 5-star Editor's Choice designation in Camerapixo's Hot Shots photo magazine, Volume 4 (http://issuu.com/camerapixo/docs/hotshots-camerapixo-04/1). It has now been published on page 121 in a new book, Camerapixo Photography Awards, Volume 01 (http://camerapixo.com/publications/photography-awards-01).
