Wow! Cool shot. I know this happened quickly, and it's good that you were ready, and also in a good position to get the shot. Oshkosh is on my bucket list.

I didn't know that bowling balls climbed trees. It looks like there was a fire there not so long ago too.

I'm surprised by the meh score on this.
You make a good model, and the color balance of the bright subject, dull background, working with the overall composition and low camera angle, grabs my emotional attention.
Thanks for the moment shared.
The photo connects.

The " one eyed" look does it for me. This got a lot of smiles for sure, including one for me. Thanks!

The color of the bird blending into the color of the water behind it may have dinged this one in voting.
For wildlife, it's usually better if you can crop to have the critter "coming into" the image with room to go forward.
You captured a great pose, from a good angle,and did a nicely artistic rendering of the subject as well.
