    Impressive pose and stare. Love the gradated background and very seasonable perch. Big time winner!

    Agree with Fabs. The snow covered pine really adds a delicate touch that contrast well with the fierce expression of the owl.

    This is a fine, fine image. That beautiful pastel background gives the owl a more intense presence in the photo.

    I concur that this is riveting beautiful and well done. I kind of wish his tail was a little more in line with his body but realize he was using it to maintain balance.
