**ACHIEVED shared 3rd place in FAA Contest - "MOSAIC EXPRESSIONS II" July 2025.
An image of an owl that I created with digital art and digital painting, and enhanced in Photoshop.
Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes, which includes over 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight. Exceptions include the diurnal northern hawk-owl and the gregarious burrowing owl.
A vibrant tropical scene with palm trees silhouetted against a warm stained glass sunset sky, reflected beautifully in the calm water of the lake below. I used a stained glass style, creating a mosaic effect that adds to the visual appeal of the setting sun over the peaceful lake and whole landscape. Many beautiful warm colors to be seen in this image against the silhouette.
This image can be found in several of my albums... Kaye Menner Digital Art, Kaye Menner Sunsets and more.
