In Your Face - Juvenile Snowy Owl

Although I've been on an extreme-light kick lately for my Snowy Owls, there is nothing wrong with images taken in normal daylight, and I do have many on file.

Canon 7D with the 500L f4 lens handheld at 1/1250, f13, ISO 400, -2/3 exposure compensation.

Slight crop for composition purposes, one dust bunny clonned away, shadow from right eye removed/reduced, background despeckled to reduce noise.

The crop may be a little tight for some, but here, due to the uniform colour of the pale blue sky I wanted to present more of a portrait view of this great pose. I probably would have opened up the image if the background presented with a more diverse scenery and more colour.

Cheers,

Mike
