Was quite pleased when this Snowy did a flyby to check us out and I captured this nice topside. I had this image in mind when going out to photograph these guys.
As a portrait of the species, this image has to be perfection. If it isn't I don't know what is!
Great banking pose and head turn. What else could one ask for? I think there are some jpg artifacts in the BG, maybe from compression.

Another amazing image Jody. The pose is priceless. You also did well with the exposure keeping the whites safe!
