Love the full wing spread! These are such majestic birds. Your post does this guy justice. Although, it does look like he's finished with the "hunting". :)

What a cool bird! I think I prefer the first one because there is no visible shadow thrown. Still very cool though.

Alex, Both wings are nice as well. This image really demonstrates the owl's concentration and spectular capture. I commend you in helping with their research. 8) :D

Looks like she's taking a bow for you. Excellent in all ways. Always creative and never a dull moment. The images are a just reward for the time and work that you put into these shots......ok, quit reading and go pack!!!!

Alex,

I admire the work that went into this.

You are surely indulged in your excess packing. Have a safe trip and good shooting.

Alan

Very cool, though I tend to agree with E.J. concerning the shadow. Have a great trip to AK and be safe! We will try to fix the crazy ordering of posts by the time you return ;)

Wingtip to wingtip sharp! Very impressive. And my offer still stands, I'll take this shot off your hands if it's not up to your standards! ;)
