Ruru

This week @aecasey - April was my get-pushed 508 challenge partner and said to me "Your challenge this week is to take a photograph that breaks composition rules: take a picture where the interest point(s) are located around the edge of the frame, not in the center or according to the rule of thirds.Your challenge this week is to take a photograph that breaks composition rules: take a picture where the interest point(s) are located around the edge of the frame, not in the center or according to the rule of thirds." I actually took this photo before I saw what the challenge was and thought it could work. My son had this small bird (Ruru / Morepork / owl) fly into his window and died. It was so upsetting. He brought it to me and I arranged for it to be given to DOC (Department of Conservation). They were really happy to get it.

I tried a bit of focus stacking for this photograph.

Well that is very powerful. So sorry that the bird died but it’s given us a lovely opportunity to see it close up. It looks like it has small horns, how strange.

@happypat I probably should have turned it over, but this was the way I took the photo and decided to leave it upside down. Have another look the other way up 😀

Cooolllll! Had to look at it for a bit to finally figure out what it was.

Fascinating capture. Like @happypat, I saw a horn. Got it now though.
