From Simon Dentremont

This Snowy Owl (in French, Harfang des neiges) was sitting up on a bank, waiting for the sun to set to go hunting. I positioned myself so the setting sun was behind it for a nice portrait, when it decided to leave its perch, luckily for me, in my direction. One of my favorite pics all year. I especially like the sunset highlights on those furry legs and kicked-up snow. Nova Scotia, Canada, Jan 2022.

      I didn’t get it at first, but once I looked it up, the cover art could not be more perfect!

      The tour shirt with the talons is awesome as well.

      Honestly, just an oversight on my part due to having his work recommended to me by the algorithm. The main things I’m subscribed to are recues and rehabs, and then every day I sort through a dozen or so pages pushing AI art as real animals, but occasionally I come across things that repeatedly show real images. The only things that had been showing up on my feed is the real guy’s work, and that lead me to assume it was his page since everything I’ve noticed from it had the same watermark and hashtag listings.

      Now that you pointed it out, I checked out the actual educationbooks and Simon’s page, and it turns out owls are the minority of content on both. If it pops up in the future, I’ll see if I can image search it back to the original post instead. I’ve gone and fixed this one now.

      I appreciate anyone that has reason to correct me. I want to do the best I can for you all and also the ones creating all the content we enjoy.
