    Snowy Owl Lift Off (hopefully with better eye contact)

    Image of Snowy Owl photographed last month in Quebec Canada. I like the animated effect of the snow flakes, and the separation from the horizon achieved by photographing on my belly. (It was cold ... but worth it!!)

    Thank you for looking, and your suggestions are always appreciated.

    HI Brian Love it Big Time good !!!

    Do like the snow being kicked up and your low perspective !!! Birds flying at you with good eye contact are always impressive !!! Can tweak by lightening the left side to even out Big Congrats !!!

    The flying snow and the low angle really make this image, Brian. The pano crop works very well here. Maybe add just a bit more room on the right? Well done.

    Impressive birds, and a nice capture here. Love the wing span and the eye contact. Love the dust of falling snow.

    You wouldn't think these guys have that big wing span when you see them perched. I think you chose the perfect lens when up close with these guys. Good eye contact. Did you get any when he flared off?
