Great Gray Owl Hunting DSC_5945 - a photo on Flickriver

            Hey everybody! Not usually one to toot my own horn, but I just have to this time. Yours truly managed to pick off top prize in the CPAWS Capture the Wild Photo Contest 2012 with this shot taken north of Water Valley back in March. I submitted this pic a while back and just got the e-mail letting me know I won yesterday. What a thrill! This is a first for me. The win comes with $500 to spend at The Camera Store as well as a few other things.
