Snowy Wink

OK, one more Snowy. Last one of the day last Friday, and I thought it was appropriate the last one would give me a little wink for my way back home.

Canon 50D, 400 5.6L, ISO 200, 1/1000, f8. No flash. Brightened up the one open eye a bit.

Well seen and photographed. Good detail and handling of whites in what had to be tough light.

Nice wink it's giving you, great exposure on the whites. I agree with darkening the perch just a bit.

There is plenty to enjoy in this image Terry and who wouldn't like the wink!

Excellent shot Terry, they certainly are beautiful owls, the wink, feather detail and blue sky make this a wonderful composition, the larger image looks great, way to go.
