Another from my time spent with the Great Gray's in my area recently, probably the best light I've had while shooting them.

As always, comments & suggestions are greatly appreciated.

what a treat to have such good opportunities with these, Guy. I really like the comp and setting here.

I love this pose and composition with that blue background. Quite different from other GGO shots I've seen.

An awesome winter portrait Guy

Great diagonal lines make for a very pleasing composition and cool toned background is a huge plus.

Terrific pose, Guy. I like the setting and the contrast of colors too.

Nice image, Guy. I like that the owl is buried in the snow. He looks pensive. Comp is perfect for this.

Guy,
The composition, the head turn, great eye contact and the setting put this image over the top for me. How about a larger version next time? Would love to see it.

Sweet shot of this very cool owl. I pretty much agree with the others. The snow and the cool colors really help make the shot.

Wonderful shot and I really like how the great gray stands out from the setting, way to go.
