Weird winter so far, with an early start to it and lots of snow...but now we've had a mild stretch melting most of it away. Cold snap coming up though! First time this season that I manage an outing for Snowy Owls, and this one was kind enough to pose on this beautifully weathered old fence post. Quite a dreary day, as this about as bright as the day got.
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/320s., f/4, ISO 800, FF, natural light, handheld, warmed up the WB, lots of contrast added, punched up the yellow irises, NR to the BG.
