Wish I would have been there....
Terrific GGO photo. Snow adds a lot and is very well done.
Great eye contact.

This is one of my favorite GG Owl shots I have seen for a while. The perch. snowing, sharpness and overall mood is top notch.
This would make a beautiful large print. Superb job Axel!

Doesn't get much better!

It looks like there should be some more canvas in the original. This feels like it needs more along the bottom (the tree).
