Hi Nicolas - My favorite thing about this image is your composition choice. You've taken the 8 x 10 aspect ratio and placed the critter in position just the way I like - but that's just me. The owl is taking a great look at you here and the blue sky is just right - not too dark and purplish like I see some time. I like the way the underwing on the left side gets kind of milky here, as well. It might be possible to make this one "pop" a little more but I wouldn't want to mess it up. Thanks.

Hey Nicolas, I can't find much wrong with this picture :) and I really like it! I have never seen a snowy owl in real life but am glad you decided to post it :)

Powerful eyes and wonderful wing position. Exposition looks right on. A larger version would make this one better in my opinion.

As has been stated everything works in this image. I'd suggest a little more contrast.
