Ottawa West

A quick merge job here folks. I was too close to get the whole bird in a full frame, so I took two shots and merged them to show almost the entire bird taking off. Look at those talons!

Wow! Gorgeous.

Perfect timing for this spectacular capture. Nicely presented with the tight framing and superb details. Great job with what should have been a tricky exposure Hank. VVV

Beautiful shot Hank

Nice lift-off shot Hank. I'm still looking for a Snowy to photograph this winter. We got spoiled the last 2 years with eruption years.

Nice snow shot - - I find it difficult to get good colors when everything is white; well done with the merge!

Tom Munson 29-Jan-2016 00:20
Great work, Hank. I can't tell you did anything to the image.

Great look at its plumage structure.
Nice work on the stitch - which you may need if too close to those talons.

Claude Gagnon 28-Jan-2016 23:58
Too close....that's great! Nice job Hank :))

hayl 28-Jan-2016 23:55
A flurry of feathers in take off - neat processing too.

Allan Jay 28-Jan-2016 21:38
Superb work!
Very engaging composition, Hank!
