........ before we are walking the dunes again in pursuit of these snowy owls. Hope we have as good a year as last winter. It makes being out in the cold worth it.
I love the high key look here Joe. Your choice to place the bird off center makes this image visually appealing as does the great eye contact caused by the bird's powerful stare. You also did a good job showing the isolation of winter.
Hi Joe, I also like the composition. Keeping the bird small in frame helps the feel/mode of this image. More sharpening might help but very nice as presented.
You guys really impressed me with these snowy owl images last year, and if this is anything to go by, cant wait for the rest. Good exposure with the whites all round, and love the placement of him too.
I like the overall picture, but I think Daniel made a very good point. The whites as presented are in the 220 range throughout. Pushing them up to around 240 makes the bird present better IMHO, but still retains the winter feel. It also gives the sense that the bird is sharper.
