Made this picture during the DDW (Dutch Design Week) in the design city Eindhoven-The Netherlands. She is blowing through the pipe for a glass artist...
Little Sethi was focused on his toy mouse, waiting for mousie to make the first move. A kitten's patience is limited and as mousie didn't seem to cooperate he finally decided to change the rules of the game and pounce onto it without further warning. I felt quite lucky as he sat still long enough for me to take two or three shots. :)
This Great Blue Heron was concentrating on capturing a meal. He was not concerned with me or my camera, enabling me to capture a full-frame portrait of him.

This Great Blue Heron was focused on a potential meal when I spotted it near the boardwalk at Huntley Meadows Park. Best viewed LARGE.
Short Eared Owl hunting for voles.
Luckily for us, they do hunt regularly in daylight and have amazing day vision including fast reacting independently controllable iris's to instantly adjust for light levels on each side of their 'face' as they are flying around.
They do also hunt at night of course - where their vision is 5 - 10 times better than a human's due to the amount of receptor rods.
Their hearing is pretty good too.

Unseen and unpraised, you tend to the soil and you feed us all. Only when it rains do you show yourself, and then you make me smile. You are so pink and soft, and you hug the earth with your entire body.
I’ve been seeing a lot of you this winter, but only now did circumstances come together to where I found you with my camera. And how extremely cooperative you were, crawling along steadily in a straight line while I struggled with the focus and framing – and then you broke my concentration because you would lift up your front end in an investigative movement that made me chuckle! It’s the same instinctive motion we all have in common and understand, but it’s so cute when you do it!
I want you to know that I see you and I praise you, humble rainworm! You work tirelessly to maintain the health of our living earth. You set a good example that I wish we would follow.
Be proud of who you are!
