Magnifique image d'un Harfan de neiges. L'image est nette et les détails dans la neige sont excellent. La position des ailes est très bonne et son regard vers la caméra semble montrer de l'indiférence. Bravo pour cette belle photo.

Helene, you have showed us some amazing shots of the Snowy Owl - you'll miss him when he flies north to breed.
Very nice shot. Good light, and not easy on the snow. Sharpness and detail are great. Good work. Thanks

Brilliant shot of this beautiful bird. Timing is excellent to catch the wings up as she looks at you. Little bit of noise in the darks at the top, maybe try running it through Neat Image or similar and see if that takes care of it?

Hi Helene,
I'm hypnoticed with the power of this photo.
It's really amazing that the owl is looking at you while in his fly.
The pose captured of the owl couldn't be better, with their wings in full extension.
Even the legs are so special.
DOF is very good, you got a perfect soft background.
I really wants to congratulate you for this picture, thanks a lot for share it,
Warm regards,
JM

Its light wings against the darkening sky is a beautiful contrast. Then its dark toes against the snow... Perfect!

A wonderful image of this bird - despite the abundance of white areas, so difficult to expose correctly, there is detail and the clarity of some featurs such as the tlons, eyes, and wing feathers is excellent. Catching it in flight at this moment was superb.
