    Jody:

    A magnificent shot. If there was a bit of the frame below, to show the legs going into the snow, that might add to the story a bit, but the eyes on this one are magical.

    Those eyes really make it for me. My eyes are drawn to the bottom, looking for feet. :)

    Love owls and this one with those huge yellow eyes is great. If it were a perfect world, a little more at the bottom to show the feet.

    excellent image. think it would be even stronger as a vertical with more room for the feet as bob suggests. Awesome experience I am sure.
