I don't believe I have ever seen a lower angle on one of these, Ted!
Very nice pose, I would like to see it a little bit brighter.

What was the owl doing there? Pre take-off? :) I like the unique pose and soft light. It could go a tad brighter for my taste. Have you tried CCW rotation? I'm wondering if it would improve it or not. I certainly like it as is, though.

[Tim McIntyre]

Great pose ! Nits mentioned

Owls also get in that position when the answer calls. I like the low angle and light.

Body surfing in the snow! I'm glad someone else asked about the behavior, very interesting and wonderful image.

[Ed Cordes]

Yup! Looks like body surfing to me. Nits covered but, wow, that light is great.

[Marko Matesic]

Fantastic light and pose.
No nits from me :)
