5. The Face of Monday Blues
Capturing the Monday Mood: The Nikon D850Potential Camera: Nikon D850 Where to Buy: Adorama, B&H Photo, and the Official Nikon Store Price Range: $2,900–$3,300* In this stunning photograph, John Blumenkamp masterfully captures a sentiment many of us know all too well: the distinct vibe of a Monday afternoon. The subject is a majestic gray owl, renowned for its regal presence and symbolic wisdom. Yet, in this moment, even this magnificent creature seems to succumb to the familiar dread that accompanies the start of the workweek. With its feathers slightly slumped and eyes reflecting a distinct "over-it" expression, the owl appears as if it could use a cup of coffee and a few more minutes of sleep—perhaps pressing the snooze button on life. Who knew that owls could also experience the infamous Monday syndrome?
