[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I finally found you after three days of searching,
you were there standing
on this electrical pole.
You were a wonder to look at,
with your head swiveling,
from one side to the other.
Your eyes a small slit,
seeing everything on your territory.
Oh no, you were not sleeping.
Who is this crazy human,
making all kind of noises,
so you will look at him,
like a king upon its subjects.
You will give him a few second,
he is not edible.
For one hour,
I stood there and you did not move.
I went away but,
not before telling you that I will be back tomorrow
with a treat.....
Will you wait for me.

NEXT: I SEE YOU.

Hi Charles
Beautiful Presentation
tfs jon

Charles,

Great shot of such a gorgeous creature. Nice photo note, too. The stark blue sky against the snow-white feathers really work well here. You can tell it's a cold northern environment.

Hello Charles,
Excellent capture of the Snowy Owl enjoying the sun! Great sharpness and lovely white plumage that stands out against the blue sky. Well done! Nice poem too!!
Many thanks, Ulla

Such a beautiful white against the dark blue sky. Nicely done. Well composed. You would have no trouble selling this photo.

Bonjour Charles,
Votre patience a payée, bravo! J'aurais été bien impressionnée de voir cet oiseau dans la réalité, ce qui ne m'est jamais arrivé. C'est une très bonne prise de vue et ce qui épate le plus, c'est le contraste incroyable entre le blanc de l'oiseau et ce ciel bleu. La composition est superbe! Un petit conseil, j'aurais probablement réduit la vitesse d'obturation pour pouvoir utiliser une ouverture plus petite afin de faire ressortir d'avantage les détails. Je comprends que dans le feu de l'action on ne pense pas toujours à ces choses là. Bravo!
Claudine

Bonsoir Charles,

Une belle image de l'harfang des neig sur le pôteau. Il reçoit une bonne luminosité ce qui fait ressortir les couleurs et les détails de ses plumes. Le sujet est bien cadré. Bonne soirée.
