My favourite bird, and one I've not been brave enough to draw yet! This is a beautiful photo. The owl is looking at you just at the right moment and the snowy surroundings make for a magical setting.

Great shot here Pat. This has all the elements of a wonderful image of a Great Gray. Placement in the frame adds to the dynamics of the initial impact. The snow flakes give a wonderful perspective of the elements. Well done Pat ~ Steve

I love this! You captured him turned as if to say "Who me?"
His detail and eyes pop against the snowy blurred background. Lovely photograph!
