The low angle, light and background make this perfect.

I'm really impressed with this shot and the quality you got at that ISO. The detail in the feathers on the large version is fantastic.

Excellent timing with the lifted foot, Ron. Looks like a first cousin of our Snowies around here.

Hey Rob,
This is one of those images that the larger the version, the better it gets and the small version is outstanding.
Well done . . .

I like the low angle, foot raise and the overall feel.
