Snowy Owl at Sunrise
I made this image on Long Island 3 minutes after sunrise. I moved a little left and right to avoid having too much grass touching the bird. If some of the whites look overexposed, this is due to jpg conversion.
1D3, 500f4, 1.4x, 1/200s, f/8, EC +0.33, ISO 1600
This is a corker, incredible light, eyes to die for.
I wonder if you have seen the recent images of Snowy Owls taken by Andy Rouse, you can view them here

Lovely soft light, nice pose, great eyes, background. Good job on framing the bird with the grasses. Your movement was worth the effort.
Hi Axel!
See if you can make a head twist all the way 'round! I like the complementary colors of the background, vegetation and the eyes. To my eyes, the horizontal branch underneath seems to create a division in the image.
Randy stole my words, but he has summed it up perfectly, with you framing the snowy between the grass. Amazing light, and I think the exposure is fine. Great image Axel.
Wow -- look at the colors -- pure eye candy
Super shot. Great comp light and detail. Well handled at iso 1600. Well done
Stunning Light - ahh the rewards of being in place before the sunrise. Really like the composition with the foreground and background blades of grass framing the bird :)
Axel all of the above, but just one thing, I wish it were mine!!!
You gotta stop Axel. We are drooling. I love the subject placement, framing with grass and the gorgeous warm light. What is to nitpick on? Ah yeah, I was not there. :D
Well I guess its all been said - as close to perfection as you can get!
Great light.
Just stunning! Great pose, light, BG, ambient, detail, comp and colors! Big congratualitons!
