With the extended time away from the office over the holidays, I've been revisiting some older images, and in some cases finding some things I hadn't processed before. This image was created a couple years ago here in northern Utah as the sun was fading behind a blanket of low clouds on the horizon. I was able to quickly setup while this particular owl examined the ground below, and then went after it's prize in the snow below.

Composition is definitely nice, particularly since it was largely done in-camera. Wing position could be better. It's funny because I was going through some images from last year's trip to Northern Utah this afternoon and found a really nice Barn Owl that I'll be posting on BPN in the near future. I'll be up for a visit in a couple of weeks; maybe we'll cross paths.
