Snowy in Blizzard

[Yves Guillot]

I shot this guy through a snow blizzard. I was Lucky to be able to see it from a distance and was able to get close.

All comments are welcome : I will appreciate your feed-back on this one.

Hope you like it!

Top shot, love it!

Very evocative image, Yves. Love how the branches on the left help to balance the image. I thought a crop might improve an already amazing image, but I ultimately decided your crop was the best. Going tighter takes away some of the mood. Well seen and executed.

This is the most appealing snowy owl photograph I have seen in a good long while! Evocative, o yes, and completely devoid of slickness or artifice. Also dreamy, lonesome, and lovely.

I like this very much. My one suggestion would be to increase the contrast and color of the eye only.
Very different and unusual. I like it!!
