Looks like the typical antics of a Snowy! Nice action captured. Pretty nice control of the whites, but a couple of hot spots. The larger version doesn't seem quite sharp. Don't know if it was a small focusing issue, or shutter speed. Even at 1/800, I'm guessing there could have been enough movement to cause a small problem.

You've captured a wonderful snowy pose. Agree with previous comments re: sharpness and whites. They can be tough especially when they're doing this and changing directions quickly! Sharon
