I took about 20 frames of this friendly bird but liked this one the most!

Snowy Owl in Ontario

This is an outstanding composition.

The owl is placed perfectly in the frame.

The yellow eyes are the magic in the else black and white and blue picture.

The long wings are getting more emphasized by the chosen angle of view, the short body looks even shorter when compared with the long wings.

Is this a real wildlife shot or supported by a animal trainer and a tame bird?

So what's wrong with the composition, apart from it being obviously not straight? (I spotted that one....).
And the bird could be brightened up a little maybe.
After all its not that you were a professional laying waiting for the shot. I'd like to hear what could be done
better here, in these circumstances.
Cheers Brian

Hi Brian, yeah I think you're probably right. I just wish I could have gotten the shot without the siding as the background. But what I did get is way better than nothing. Thanks for your comments

Apart from the dead center framing, there's nothing else but praise that come to mind. Great shot!

Very pretty...! Only gripe... if the Bird was as sharp as the moss.
