Gorgeous portrait. I love the subtlety of the colors. And, the contrast between the blurry background and the exceptionally sharp focus on the owls and the branch really make this piece pop. Great job!

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


First off I like the subject of the shot. I also like that the owl is not in the center of the frame and that allows the background to support him and shows the conditions he was in when you too the photo, his colors and the negative space colors compliment on another nicely. I do think that the focus is slightly off, because his feathers seem fussy . Other then that a good photo to paint from, because of the contracts of color, of his warm and cool background.

This is an award winning photo here. This is very great quality and the shot itself is just awesome. You were very lucky to catch the light snow fall and this handsome guy!

Wow Pat what an amazing sight. I am so happy you were able to capture such a beautiful image. Beautifully framed and presented. I love how the softness of the snow adds such a magical feel. You have captured a wonderful expression. So spot on.
I love it!

what a wonderful find. He is watching you. Looking straight at you. I have painted owls a time or two and they come in all types. My youngest son used to be mad about them. Do you have Crown virus 19 up there too?

A very nice capture of the grey owl. I like the snow falling around it and the mute colors. It spells winter and cold. The composition is nice. Well done.

Wow Pat, this is amazing!
I can't believe the incredible detail and 3 dimensional
quality to this image. The piercing eyes of this beautiful
owl are captured perfectly and give such depth to this photo. This is just all around
beautiful and an amazing capture in the snow.
Brilliant work!

Another great photo!
I like the sharp focus on the owl and the blurred backdrop. Even though the colors are very neutral the owl still pops. His markings are so cool. I like the falling snow too. Well done!

Terrific photograph of this great grey owl. He looking at you and not to thrilled that you are taking his picture. Love the blur background and snow coming down. Good focus and lighting. Very nice composition. Sharp detail. Beautifully done.
