20150114 533 SERIES - Snowy Owl2.jpg

Ottawa West

Three images of a Snowy Owl landing on its favourite perch.

Top Image:Zeroing in.

"Ouch!!"

"Made it."

P.S.:The first and second images are cropped and as shot with only minor P.S. adjustments. The third image is the same as the second except that I cloned in the eye from the top image for effect - just having some fun. I am not sure why the Owl closed its eyes. Perhaps it was coming in too fast and hit, or feared hitting that upright branch.
