Last Snow of the Year

[Mike Tracy]

I haven't seen or posted any snowy's lately. From my Ottawa, Can. trip in March.

I added canvas and reconstructed his left wing tip following the instructions on Robert O'Tooles APTATS cd. Still learning the finer points.

MKIII, EF500, 1/1250, f/8, ISO 400, baited.

Comments always welcome to improve my images.

Love the take off position with the trailing snow, coming at you are always eye openers and did really well on your ps work !!! I like it a lot !!!!

Nice shot and position for the bird!

If you did reconstruct the left wing, well, you did a good job.

I love these owls. you did a very good job on the added canvas. Maybe its me, but the left wing looks too long?

I still like the shot.
