[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here's the 3rd shot of the serie In Preparation for the Winter Olympic!. For his size, this snowy is quite elegant as he's landing beautifully hoping to win a gold medal in 2010!

I'm having a great time photographing him and it worth to dress warm and be patient in the field to appreciate him flying, walking, jumping, posing...and so much more.

Agree with you thats a perfect landing. Hardly see a splash of snow. Well managed exposure and DOF.

Best regards,

The different colours of the grass dried...in yellowish orange really set off the white nicely. And this one is sharp as the rest of the series..

Hello Lise,
Majestic pose with the wings in this position. Very beautiful colours. And, as always, pin-sharp. Great low POV and composition.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Lise,

Full of action this photo, beautiful this owl catching (likely) a mouse under snow. Excellent details of wings on the blue sky.

TFS, Dan.

Your burst speed must be pretty fast to get such a nice series of action shots. The exposure looks perfect for all that white. Nice work. I'm jealous of the opportunity to see such a lovely bird in the wild.
