Hi Scott,

I love your choice of crop, carefully composed.
Note that the wings are clearly cut and in the right place too. Clipping does not look good, Intentional cutting for stronger composition works most of the time, as long as you remember not to cut in the joints :)

I'm on my laptop, so not sure if the front of the feet are a little hot, disregard if it's my monitor.

Great eye contact and for sure a wall hanger :)

Wow! I love the golden light on this perfectly exposed image of a snowy owl. Great job with your whites. Wonderful pose, I love the fact that the legs are tucked under him. Makes for a compeling image.

Loads of impact Scott - those eyes really have it!! great exposure for the white plumage. Well done.

[Marko Matesic]

Incredible!...
Everything is spot on!
Hat down! :)

[Mike McCarthy]

Terrific capture. These are cool birds. You captured this one nicely. Like the comp/crop and that eye contact is killer.

[Albert Froneman]

Perfect compositoin, eye contact and an in-flight action shot! WOW - VVWD from me!

[Jody Melanson]

Love the head on pose, Scott. Feet a little hot?

[Gary "Jake" Jacobson]

What a powerful composition. I really like the eyes on this image. The feet don't look hot on my monitor. What a wonderful image. Congratulations!
