Photos by Christopher Forslund

When it comes to wildlife photography, two elements can transform a good photo into a compelling image: eye contact and great light.

Waiting for that moment of eye contact can create a powerful connection between the subject and the viewer, bringing a sense of intimacy and personality to the image. It's as if the animal is sharing a secret, inviting you into its world.

Combine that with the magic of great light, and you have the perfect recipe for a stunning photograph. The right light can highlight textures, enhance colors, and create dramatic shadows, adding depth and dimension to your shot.

Next time you're out in the field, be patient and wait for that perfect moment. It's worth it!

I can imagine owls working this way. This is why I am glad they are significantly smaller than me!

So it's safe to assume that this has never happened to you :)
