 This guy was perched on a dead tree within site from a back road. To get close enough to him for a good shot, I had to tromp through snow well up to my thighs, wearing blue jeans but no long underwear. (I must remember to always keep snowshoes in the car, just in case!)

Congratulations! My shot, in the other category, is 84/130 with an average of 4.79. My 3rd best score so far, though.
Dear Ol’ Dad

Nice and crisp but a lot of noise around the owl. Lighting is interesting and the eyes of the owl convey prudence to us: don't get closer!

Nice!

the tree in the background is very distracting. a nice CLEAR shot of an owl, however, i feel like its missing emotion. the eyes are GREAT, but I think you really needed to close in tighter around those, to really give the impression of wisdom.

Very nice photo of the owl. For me, it's a bit of a stretch for prudence, as I understand it, but that's just me. Not holding it against you.

I like how you captured him with his head turned nearly backwards!

lovely photo - would be a 9 in a wildlife challenge, but why is an owl prudent, or have I missed something?
