Evil Snowy Owl Stare.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Looking quite devilish, this Snowy Owl tried to stare me down. I believe it won...

Canon 7D + 100-400L @260mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/250s., f/6.3, ISO 800, FF, natural light, handheld, baited.

Simply Beautiful Daniel, What a stare. Great job on the whites and how nice the talons are so visible.

[Doug Brown]

Love this one Daniel! The eyes and talons are incredible! I can see why it won!

[Henry Domke]

Wonderfully threatening!

[Jim Crosswell]

Another incredible image Daniel! I like the ice pick talons, confrontational stare, IQ, details and composition. Every time I think the images can't get better you post another, how high does the bar go?

[Sameer Shah]

Stunning all the way! Love the expression captured here. Exposure seems excellent.

[Dave Johnson]

Very intimidating shot here Daniel. Sharpness, exposure and comp all superb. A 'top notch' shot for sure.

[Randy Stout]

Daniel:

Top notch! It is the 'evil' stare generated by the slight chin down pose that really makes it! Actually, I am not sure birds have chins, but you get the idea!

Techs look great.

Cheers

Daniel - excellent exposure and sharpness. I too can see why the owl won.

I just bought a 2014 Calendar and the theme is Owls, none of the shots in there even come close to this. Simply perfect !!!!

[arash_hazeghi]

[Allen Sklar]

I just come back and stare at the image over and over............thank you so much. Beautiful.

This is the look my mom would give me when I did something naughty!!
A terrific image and I love the visible talons.
Can't think of anything to critique it is all so good!

Now this is an image I'd like to see printed in a large format. Perfect!

[Bob Serling]

Superb! The balance between the deep gold stare and the black talons make this really special. I scrolled my screen a bit to see what it would look like without the talons - not even close!

[Holger Leyrer]

WOW. What for a stunning Image. All is perfect

[Grace Scalzo]

Really Cute pose. Nicely done, Daniel.
