Snowy Owl

Gallery: 10 Years of NPNPosted April 13, 2010209 views3 comments
This is possibly my personal favorite photo (so far) since switching to digital in 2004. I posted this in March 2006 and received many wonderful comments on the image. But, I wasn't quite content with the reproduction. I have worked on it several times since, trying to recall the intense light and colors of that incredible afternoon with this owl. Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments and helpful suggestions with all the photos I have posted on NPN. I'm looking forward to another 10 years of nature photography to enjoy here.

I think Snowy Owls are the prettiest of the owls, and this is a beautiful rendering of one. Great light and comp - well done.
