unfortunately i didnt have time to vote . but this was one of my favs .
what i particularly like about this was the way the owl seems almost caring .. if that vole was a baby owl it would look like the adult owl was carrying it somewhere safe ... unfortunately for the vole .. he wasnt a baby owl ..
many congratulations on your ribbon . such a brilliant shot . :)
