Description The Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) is a large owl of the typical owl family Strigidae. This yellow-eyed, black-beaked white bird is easily recognizable. It is 52–71 cm (20–28 in) long, with a 125–150 cm (49–59 in) wingspan.

It is one of the largest species of owl and, in North America, is on average the heaviest owl species. The adult male is virtually pure white, but females and young birds have some dark scalloping; the young are heavily barred, and dark spotting may even predominate. Its thick plumage, heavily feathered taloned feet, and colouration render the Snowy Owl well-adapted for life north of the Arctic Circle.

Even birds look up. How did you get such an amazing shot of a lovely owl?

Well I got lucky, that's the most important thing. It was taken at zoo, the key was that the owl was sitting on the ground, relatively close to me to fill the frame, the background was dark enough so I could make it entirely dark in the post process. And I was lucky he just looked up where there was a "window", so the light can come from the ceiling creating delicate light on it's head. Around 15 minutes of starring in front of the cage.

Śliczne ujęcie z profilu. Ciekawie wygląda z tak ukrytym dziobem

Podoba mi się czarne tło, warunki chyba musiały być sprzyjające?

DominikaAniola In reply to panna-cotta [2014-02-11 20:50:51 +0000 UTC]

No udało się światło zastane, tło trochę przyciemniłam, aby było całkiem czarne. Na szczęście nie było z tym dużo pracy i piórka mogły pozostać naturalne bez ingerencji.
