Hi Karl, cool image with the snow falling. It feels a bit tight on the left for me. Do you have more room? Loi

[Jonathan Ashton]

I am guessing this is take off Grace (?) very well focused and ideal exposure, on the one hand I think a little more space like Loi but then I got to thinking maybe just right because there is little contrast between the owl and the background so the crop you chose maintains concentration on the subject.

A good capture and detail having regard to shutter speed. The falling snow is a nice touch. A little noise is beginning to creep in but it is not harsh.

Nice take off image,like the falling snow.some nice detail in the owl.TFS.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the falling snow, take-off pose, setting and composition. Well done Karl!

[Diane Miller]

Very nice, great action and good detail in the whites. With so much going on in the bottom half of the frame, I'd consider cropping a little from the top for balance.
