A caricature of broad flat planes on cheek, jaw, hair or muzzle relationships around steady eyes and axes, colour-block boundaries only, no triangular mesh or shaded sculpture, asymmetry held under the source expression. A great horned owl in a tall frame: a great horned owl facing the viewer with a calm intent stare, its facial disc, brow tufts, beak and chest drawn as broad flat colour planes in tawny, cream, chestnut and charcoal, steady round yellow eyes on one level axis, perched on a plain branch against a flat dusk blue ground.
Light: no cast light, only flat colour planes with crisp boundaries, tawny, cream, chestnut and charcoal blocks for the facial disc and the chest, two steady yellow eyes, a flat dusk blue ground; palette of tawny, cream, chestnut, charcoal and dusk blue; graphic, watchful, bold.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame. One healthy wild bird in a natural or neutral setting, species recognisable by plumage and beak, no cage, no people, no text, no logos, no feathers hanging as decoration.
