This is my last post about snowys, as i have no more photos :(
this was taken as soon as i arrived to Canada, i was happy to see how tame the birds where.
All comments and critiques welcome!

Lots of cyan and a little blue in the whites of this bird.
I suggest masking and remove cyan
Also, a bit soft -- try applying a 15/60 contrast mask to see the details in the feathers improve.
Additional masking with curves to lighten the owl seems to work as well.

I would like to ask a couple questions.
What is a contrast mask?
what does 15/60 mean?
How is applying a contrast mask better than sharping to bring out details?

Its described in Artie's Digital Basics.
It is an additional means of sharpening, particularly when the image appears a little soft after normal sharpening.
15/60/0 are the 3 settings you'd use in sharpening
