This Snowy owl sat patiently for about 5 minutes, much to its credit, before becoming annoyed and flying to another branch about 100 ft away.

this is nearly flawless in my opinion. This owl is beautiful. the offset of the image in the frame also makes it less boring.

I think Snowy owls are the most beautiful of the owl family. I used to see these sitting on the barbed fence wire in Saskatchewan as they waited for a mouse to scury across the snow. What a nice opportunity Mike to have this bird of prey wait for you. Wonderful capture:-)

That's a really beautiful, clear and crisp image, with all the details of this wonderful bird. I like the way you captured the aloof look. And the offcenterd image allows to arrang all the desktop icons in the left, so they will not disturb the picture...

Indeed a capture. Excellent detail and strong attractive contrasts. I agree with David and Mia about the off-center framing as well.

don't think there's anything I can add to what they say except where's the 20 on the voting scale? ;)

Wonderful photo. I like how it is not centered in the frame, for some reason the whole composition seems to work better that way! Nicely done as usual.
