    Default Yet another snowy!

    snowy owl, in general I am not a big fan of high-key images like this but I kept this one because it shows the close up details of the bird (this handsome youngster was mt fav. bird!)

    Hi Arash. Beautiful comp, wing position, exposure. I quite like the high key approach but would rather see both eyes.

    Eye or no eye, it's just plain gorgeous, and I love the high key.

    Excellent shot. Love the high key look, great flight pose, detail is superb, and the missing eye does not bother me.
    Well done.

    I like the incoming flight position and the upwing stroke very much. The detail in the feathers is awesome.Even can see the little belly feathers. Your exposure is perfect,

    I am not sure if a slight border would add to the high key look or not but may be an option. I really like the pose with both top and bottom views of the wings. Tack sharp and lots of detail which really shows well on larger version.

    Great angle, details and sharpness, Arash.
    Personally I don't mind the one eye. I would rather see them focusing on where they are flying than looking at the photographer.
    It is more natural.

    Hi Arash, great angle and flying posture with the raised wings. Overall well exposed and sharp, and Im fine with the BG as is. Your high def rocks.

    Fantastic bird angle, flight posture, exposure and sharpness. The high key works great here imo. Love it!
