Hi Art
I like the eye contact and setting Well exposed and sharp Would like more room all around the bird particularly at the bottom for the virtual legs. Could lighten the bird a tad the increase contrast slightly There is also a cast which is easily corrected !!! Looking forward to more !!!
I would also suggest lightening the image, and dealing with the blueish color cast on the snow. I love the pose and eye contact.
Agree with Al's suggestions. Those eyes are incredible.

Great find and at 300mm. How much of a crop is this? I like the suggestions above and would add to sharpen the bird a bit more.
Very little crop, maybe 1/8 of the picture on the left side, I was within 15 feet of the Snowy. I thought I had sharpened enough, but when downsized for web, the picture comes out soft. Also, I tried to get rid of the blue colour cast, but wasn't able to because of the sun being warm and low on the horizon.
Lovely eye contact, and I would give up a few things to have the opportunity to get an image of one of these guys. No snow in South Africa, well not where I live. Well captured Art.
Great shot but I agree that a looser crop would be more pleasing...nate
