This on is lacking the eye contact, so it is not exactly my favorite. But I find myself gazing at it often -- I think I like the different textures in the whites. When going over the images after a shoot, it is surprisingly difficult to find one that exists in the sweet spot between blue sky BG images and wing-clipped, snow BG shots. I still prefer the incoming shots with unclipped wings and snow in the BG instead of sky. The V-wing shot I posted the other day is still my crown jewel.
Must.....find....a snowy......must.........find....... a snowy.....
My God they are incredible birds. I'm heading to Wisconsin for a couple of weeks (business) and I'm a wishing a snowy gets down Milwaukee way while I'm there. The alternative-freezing off body parts without a snowy shot to show for it.....makes me shudder.
Another spectacular capture of the Snowy Scott. Yes I agree with you about prefering the unclipped wings but also agree with you about the perfect exposure showing off the white plumage to its max. Well done!!
