Snowy Owl

From this winter's snowy owlv workshop in Canada.

Very white, very nice!! 7/7an

Very fine flight shot!

Beautiful bird, gorgeous capture! Love the composition and cleanness of this shot, particularly the natural pop of the eyes. I think leaving the small blurred object in the foreground was a great idea, as it brings me right to those eyes. One of my few 7/7s. Great work!

Nice capture and good winter mood to this image, well done.

this is a phantastic one, it's perfect! Congratulations!

Wow.. That a capture of this magnificent bird... The colors and pattern on the bird is amazing .. And those beautiful eyes ... Excellent shoot....

 

All the best, Jill

Tom:

 

A perfect shot! I love the fact that there are no background distractions. What a beautiful and intense animal an owl is!

 

Thanks for sharing. Great Job!

Thank you for all your time and your kind words.

 

Best regards.

I always marvel at this kind of photograph, what few there are. The intensity in the eyes and position of the wings are perfect, and the shadow on the snow adds an important touch. I imagine these birds are lured in with captive prey released on the snow, just as spotted owl researchers bring in owls with captive mice. Otherwise, the odds of being in the right place at the right time for an animal like this are incredibly small. It's a wonderful photograph of a natural phenomenon that most of us don't get to see.
