Theme: Smiley (Snowy Owl)

[Karl Egressy]

This image was taken towards the end of winter in 2014 (2014-03-11)
The snow disappeared from the field except some icy patches here and there.
It was the last day of the season I saw the Owl before it migrated to North for the
breeding season.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

Another beauty Karl! I like the ice, eye contact, setting, IQ and composition. I think you can up the exposure on this image a bit more.

[Diane Miller]

Wonderful! I love the detail you bring out in the whites!

[Karl Egressy]

Thank you Jim, thank you Diane.
I have three custom framed images of Snowy Owls on my walls and this is my favorite.

I love the pose and environment. I think it can use a little brightening but the image as is, is within acceptable limits. Nice work!
