The winner of the November Brackets is our very own moderator, Barb, sweetgoddess71 with this incredibly detailed portrait of an owl.

We interviewed Barb to get a little background:

Where are you from?
Philadelphia, PA; currently live just outside the city

What type of equipment do you use?
Canon A610

What's the story behind your Bracket's entry?
This Eagle Owl was part of a birds of prey exhibition at a birding festival at a wildlife refuge near my home. I must've taken at least 20 photos of this beautiful bird but this one is my favorite. I love the eyes and the color variation in the feathers.


What types of photos do you like to shoot?
Almost anything that looks interesting to me. I'm especially fond of flowers, animals, trees, architecture and sculpture. I'm also trying to get better at candid portraits and non-flower macros.
