[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
The Snowy Owl is a diurnal owl which has a round head, yellow eyes and black beak.
White, the feather is streaked or speckled in a variable way, with horizontal black scores or spots. It possesses disks of stiff feathers around eyes, which reflect soundwaves towards ears.

Females and young are more marked than males. These can be of a pure white, although they have at least three caudal strips. The grown-up female is sharply streaked, and the black spots can be equal or dominant, with regard to the whole feather. The intensity of the black spots varies with the sex of the immature.
Females are more bored, approximately 20 % bigger than males.
The young are uniformly brown, with rests of white sleeping bag scattered. He can live 35 years in captivity.

Encantadora toma conseguida con muy pocos todos, eso es lo que más me gusta. Acertado fondo. Justa luz y acertado encuadre.

Saludos Servane.

Hello Servane,
This is a lovely portrait of this beautiful fellow!
Great details in the plumage, and the difficult white parts are well exposed...
A well balanced composition with good colours!

Bonjour Servane, qu'il est beau ce portrait de Harfang. Excellent piqué, bonne exposition des hautes lumières et belle pose de l'oiseau. On peut l'appercevoir l'hiver ici près de Montréal dans les grandes étendues agricoles enneigées. Très beau travail, merci.
