The late afternoon setting sun provides a cool-looking light on the snow and shadow for this departing Snowy, who has his beak covered with snow. The Snowy itself is in a warm pre-golden tone due to the setting sun.

Canon 5D Mark III with my 500L f4 lens handheld as usual @ 1/1000, f9.5, ISO 400, - 1/2 exposure compensation.

Slight crop to straighten the level of the shadow. A zillion annoying snow reflection spots and a huge dust bunny removed. I could have removed the three strands of vegetation, but decided to leave them there for now.


Cheers,

Mike
