Thanks for looking! :)

Snowy Owls are among my favorite. I like the up swept wings. At first I thought the closed eye was a bad thing. Then the more I looked at the image the more I thought that it is a true reflection of the concentration the bird goes through when "dancing" as you put it.

The exposure is very good showing the spots off well. I do wish the horizontal line of BG were lower, but this is a small nit.

Cool pose, exposure control and details. I don't mind the closed eye and would give it more room. I might clone out the yellowish parts in the snow.

Nice pose and great whites, B/G looks great too with the distant mountains....

Nice work.
