Northern Hawk Owl

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.
Superb image, one of the best I've ever seen of this species.
Love everything about this image Matthew and echo Fab's comments !!! Excellent work.
I remember your first post over on PM. You have come a long way. Well done.
Riviting shot, grabs attention and a real pleasure for the eye, Very Well Done Matt.
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.
deserves to be a magazine cover!
Love the expression and the enviorment.
Was there some cloning done just to the left and above the leg seams like there is something going on in that area
Overall great stuff
Awesome image Matthew. Love the snow on the tree.
