Picture of the Day - Wednesday 20th May 2009

Great Grey Owl in flight, by Mias

Mias is our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day this time. Mias has been featured a couple of times before on our POTD, and the last time continued a theme that involved a feature of the sky. Today, we see a completely different kind of picture from Mias, a dramatic action nature shot of what appears to be a huge owl flying in daylight. The owl's big round head and distinctive expression really add to the impact of this shot. Mias did very well to capture and frame the owl so well.

Would you like one of your pictures featured on DPNow's POTD?

We are always on the look out for great pictures posted to the user-galleries here on DPNow. POTDs are selected from the gallery and featured every week day. The gallery facility here is completely free; all you need to do is register as a user on our discussion forum and you will get an automatic 25MB of space, which is good for around 125 pictures uploaded at web resolution, about 200K per picture. At the time of writing we had just over10,000 pictures on the galleries and it's well worth a browse.

Picture of the month

At the end of each month we will select our favourite image of the month and declare a Picture of the Month.

The DPNow Golden Gallery

Our ultimate accolade, the DPNow Golden Gallery, is reserved for what we feel are the very finest images. We invite anyone to submit their pictures for inclusion in the Golden Gallery. Why not have a look at the Golden Gallery submission form? The vast majority are usually rejected, which is why we feel that the ones we do feature are extra special.
