Congratulations Barry Goggins
Snowy Owl Fix

I photographed this snowy owl under difficult weather and light conditions which meant I didnt have enough light to stop the wing blur. However I dont mind that since it seems to convey motion. What I do mind is the out of focus reed on the bottom left area.
Any thoughts on how to fix that? I was thinking of doing a tedious extensive cloning but there is probably a better way. Any help appreciated.

Thank you. That was unexpected :)
Unfortunately since this, word got out about this owl being so close to suburban NJ and NYC and there have been a few photographers breaking down barriers and trespassing in order to get closer to the owl which sometimes spends time out at a distance from the public area.
So far the owl has stayed in the area but honest birders and photographers alike are quite upset at the whole situation.
But thanks again for the selection

Nice shot Barry, sorry to hear about the repercussions. Seems some photographers are quite unethical and don't respect nature and the animals.
