   Dear Sean – this is a breath taking impossible photograph. Owls are nocturnal birds I wonder how you could get it so sharp and nice. Effort of several hours and may be hundreds of shots.
   Many thanks.

     Thanks Shashikant,
     The snowy owl is one of the few diurnal owls. The tricky part is finding one, but once you do, they tend to hunt early and late in the day.

   Definitely the money shot,Sean, although I would love to see what you call a “portrait”shot of one of these beauties posing on a pole.
