Hi Rob
This is a very good capture of that Snowy Owl.You chanced to shot it with her eyes open which is not frequent. Getting so close when the bird is on the ground is also an exploit. Very nice photo, very sharp details and what a vantage point.
Thanks for sharing

Another excellent shot, Rob - I really am in awe of this kind of photography. The composition, sharpness, details are all bang on and the way he appears to be looking directly at us is just breathtaking. First class photography.

Hi Rob,
Perfect shot, you have captured her well and so much better on the ground than on a utility pole, the eyes are great.
Well done

Hi Rob! Wow, I am hoping to come across one of those lately but I didn't. Lucky you. And this is very well captured with great details, perfect colours and the owl's eye contact!
Very well composed with a good shallow dof and we still see the horizon line.
Great work! Yan :)

the most amazing part of this shot is the three-dimensional quality! It seems to pop right out of the frame here!
superb clean details and excellent composition

Hi Rob,
I can see that you were closer here and this is very impressive! This eye contact is amazing and you captured great details in perfect exposure. Low POV works very well; you didn't get wet for nothing :) Well done!

Hi Rob - You have a fascinating gallery of beautiful wildlife shots coupled with interesting notes! This snowy owl portrait is so pleasing to look at because the bird is so well in focus that one can see the details of its beautiful 'coat'. Its colours match those of the environment perfectly. BTW, to me it looks as if the bird does look at you/us. Thank you for sharing such a fine image of this gorgeous looking bird! - Cordelia :))

Hello Rob,
A fine pose and great details in this attractive and special bird!
I like the simplicity in composition, where the subject is placed in it's right element...
Fine details in the plumage, and the eyes are the only real colour spots!
Greetings,
Pablo -
