A great low angle on this one, Sandy.

Excellent detail and pose, Sandy. And a nice low angled shot. Like the blurred background as well. Rare for me to see a snowy that hasn’t been banded yet-it’s almost an ID marker for me.

Hi Sandy
Nice low angle, with good white and black feather control.

Terrific catch Sandy, love the open beak and “attitude” shown. Exposure, detail, and shooting angle look great. I could see cropping a tad from the left.
