Snowy Owl Tight-Branch Walker

When a Snowy Owl perches on the summit of a tree, it's often on a thin branch.

This gives ample opportunities for a variety of shots with wings deployed as the owl finds its balance while waiting for its weight to bend the branch.

My usual Canon gear handheld at 1/1250, f/7.1, ISO 200, 400mm lens focal distance.

Cheers,
Mike

Allo Micky,

Une image splendide! Les blancs sont magnifiques et pleins de détails, la pose nous permet de bien voir tous les détails des plumes dans les ailes. Le blance contraste bcp avec le bleu du ciel et l'oiseau est très bien mis en valeur. Et que dire du regard....

Magnifico Micky! :)
