With the frigid conditions in Niagara the grapes are being harvested to make Ice Wine Niagara is famous for. This lone Snowy Owl looks on with curisosity. I will savour the pickers fruits with an Ice Wine Martini, not so sure if 007 would approve even if it is shaken but not stirred.
1/160 sec. f/8. 850mm

The light on the owl almost makes the plumage glow, and the eyes are penetrating! Wonderful image, Rob!

LFC  on a roll, and looks like you are too, with these fantastic owl images, Rob!  :wink: 

You're having way too much fun up there in the frozen winter, and this is another fantastic image.  Incredible detail and those eyes are amazing, just draw you right into the frame!

That is awesome! The dark blue BG is fantastic with the white owl and those piercing yellow eyes. Can't say I have seen a snowy image quite like this!
Well done
