Early winter mornings and late afternoons are great times to add colour to routine Snowy Owl photos.
This one was taken late afternoon before sunset. By this time the relative warmer temperature of the day rapidly drops as the sun sets.
Here, I just added a bit of contrast to the image with a bit of sharpening and despeckling of background noise. I cropped the top and botttom horizontal plane, because this image will be framed at 8 x 16.
Cheers,
Mike
