It was a great day last Saturday for Snowy Owl photography with good friends and lots of laughs.

This Snowy shows off a full display of feathers while landing.

Canon 7D with 500L f4 lens @ 1/3200, f8, ISO 400. Slight crop for composition purposes. A whole bunch of snow reflection spots cloned out. Other people may have done heavier Photoshop graphic work to sanitize the image by removing all snow and background imperfections (foot tracks, vegetaion, etc) but I'll let the Snowy Owl speak for itself.
If I was to frame this image for sale, then I would clean it up.

Cheers,

Mike
