John:
I really like the story telling in this image. The trail of feathers is great. Nice sense of the environment. Great early light.
If your style allows, I would consider removing the one plant 'sprouting' from the top of his head. The rest are fine for me.
Nice comp as well.
Cheers
Randy

I love the gruesome and dark feeling that this photo has. Just the scattered remains of the bird are excellent. You have great light here and a classic Snowy in the dunes shot with beautiful early morning light. I prefer the repost with the grasses behind the bird removed. Snowy Owls are very difficult to get to open their eyes when the sun is out. When the eyes are both wide open the photo has much more impact. Even more so of course if the owl is looking at you or mostly at you. I think you need to tone down the yellows a little on the birds and tone down the highlights on the face. Also the shadow at the bottom of the image looks too blue. The background would benefit from some noise reduction.

Issac - Thank you for the detailed feedback as always. It is much appreciated. I edited the images using your suggestions although I did not remove all the yellow as she was bathed in direct sunrise light. Hopefully improved.

Looks great. I appreciate your taking the time to do the edit and for the explanation.

You need help with any of the things that I did. The changes were subtle but significant. Lifting the shadows, reducing the yellows, enhancing the whites. a bit more sharpening and the noise reduction to the background. All relatively minor but together I think they make a big impact. The white owl stands out better against a smooth background. And you don't lose the feeling of the early morning light.
