During the winter of 2011/12, we had over 30 snowy owls arrive from up north. It was

quite a treat. Your thoughts are welcome on this image. It was taken just before

sunset - hence the golden light.

Two apex predators in one shot.  This is an epic image, Chris!!!

A coyote calls for it's mate in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone.

Comments welcome.

Debating square crop. Thoughts??

Was thinking of cropping a bit off the top. Thoughts?? Please note

this is about 80% of the original image. I did not get the horizon

100% straight in camera.

Thanks for the comments guys and gals.  I agree, Rick, it does pop nicely now.  I gotta start saving the files differently.  The uploads loose detail.

Ok, what do you like, what don't you like. I'm thinking it could be a

bit brighter. What are your thoughts???

I hope no one was hurt in making this photograph.

This is a cool shot. Well done.

Love the light, the position of the skater and the cracks in the ice. Well captured.

This is a very good image. I wish you could recover a bit more detail in the highlights.

Super capture, Laurie. This was a moment well worth waiting for.

Great shot Louis.

Great shot of a beautiful animal. It could almost be a cast member in Lord of the Rings. Well done.

After shooting this guy for about 15 minutes from a blind (my SUV

actually), I was busted. Truth be told, I'm sure he was aware of me

from the first second. This was the shot I was waiting for.

Taken with a long lens (can't remember if it was a 400 or 500mm) and

hence the shallow DOF. Essential to keep the eye sharp of course.

Comments welcome.

Thanks for your efforts. I do like it better with a lighter background. Will have to adjust the levels a little.

Northern Flicker doing a perfect pose.

Nice shot. You know how fast these guys can run, right?

Good caputure Isabella. It's perhaps cropped a little tight but that is a personal preference. Also, there it's tough to fully appreciate this guy as it is difficult to seperate the subject from it's surroundings.

Stunning!
