Great portrait shot, Rob. (My mouse went crazy I had to stop. I think the Cat chewed on the wire LOL)


















I find that bright condition is not as good for Snowy Owls as they tend to squint.

This turned out really well, Rob. Very nice portrait and taken with challenging camera settings in challenging light. Very nicely done.

Your Snowy Owl series is excellent, Rob! This close-in view shows off the fine details perfectly. Very well done!

Beautiful portrait, Rob! I love the close up detail - like the distinctive feathers protecting the nasal passages.
