Artist's Comments

On my one visit there were some very heavy snow flurries moving through. By the end my camera was soaked and had snow caked to it! It was quite atmospheric and a special experience to see these incredible predators hunting in rather appropriate conditions given that they are northern owls.

Great Gray owl hunting in snow by *gregster09 Greg's work really needs no introduction, having already interviews him for the "Photography-APN Professional Series", his work is some of the best when it comes to wildlife, and this shot is nothing short of amazing! A gorgeous shot, that every bird shooter could easily envy, with focus that is simply to die for! (Featured by ^kkart)

Another great shot, it is tricky to take pictures in the snow and you really made the owl pop. So much detail and Clarity. Well done.

Wow - superb capture, I love the ambience the snow gives to this exquisitely sharp and well defined predator - gorgeous light, composition. Beautiful job, it's like a painting! (Or one I wish I painted! *wistful*)
