Soaking up the sun

[Art Kornienko]

50D, 300 F4LIS, ISO 400, F7.1, 1/6400 CWA, AI Servo, monopod with Manfrotto Ball head, IS on. Crouched and crawled up to about 12 feet, bait was not used. Note that there is a piece of snow in the corner of the owl's right eye. No crop.

I was about to mention the right eye. :) 12 feet? That is close and you pulled off a wonderful shot Art. I like how it sits between the lumps of snow.

[Fabs Forns]

Terrific, I can see that's snow in the eye, lovely eye contact.

[Raymond Barlow]

well done Art, sweet image... and the whites look great to me.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the details, angle and exposure control. I've never seen an image with snowy eye before.

[Meint Sijp]

WOW, nice shot especielly on the details and its not blown out.

Great control of the whites here. You have the look, sharp eyes good tonal range, lot's to like. I have yet to have the privilege of seeing or photographing them.

Lovely subject and a very sweet image. Well done here.
