Nice shot . Where in Ottawa did you find the Owl? Bill

Nice take off pose Loi. I like the trailing snow and the eye contact. Well done

A beauty of a catch. I might prefer less motion in the wings, but everything else is bang on for my taste. I might be tempted to clone out the brush in the left corner, it does distract my eyes. Snowy Owl's are a dream bird, I'm still hoping to see one while caring my camera.

Beautiful take off shot Loi, love the wing position and the snow trail. I may be tempted to clone out the right hand twigs as they are a little distracting. Super image!

One of the nicest SO pics yet in my humble opinion. The trailing snow - and to top it f all a great background!!
Excellent.

Awesome image Loi. Fabulous pose, nice comp and the in-coming flight pose is stunning. The kicked-up snow trail takes this up two notches. Looks like you had fun with the new 100-400 II.

Beautiful flight shot, well done.

Hi Loi, another lovely image, much prefer the habitat/environment on this one to the previous, but the detail etc on the other one , nice work.

Hi Loi - Nice coming at you image. The trailing snow takes this up notch. I also like the sense of movement. Very nicely done.

TFS,
