This young Snowy Owl is all in a flutter while standing fast against a good solid wind. The ground had an thin icy crust so there was no blowing snow, which I would have like to have.

Canon 7D with 500L f4 lens with 1.4 II extender, handheld @ 1/1250, f11, ISO 400, +2/3 exposure compensation.

Cropped for composition purposes and to format to a 12 x 16 frame.

Cheers,

Mike
