Pre-Flight Check
Juvenile Snowy Owl (bubo scandiacus) stretches his wings preparing for take-off!!! Yours truly wasn’t using a lens which was wide enough for his wingspan but I’m still glad I went for the shot anyway.

Nicely timed Krys.

It is a great shot. He spans the horizon. He does not need to totally be in the frame. Nice job.

What a perfect moment perfectly preserved! LOVE THIS!
Keith Richardson
Ahhh – even though the near wingtip is out-of-frame, it is not out of mind, and so the watcher needs to create that part of the image for him/herself, and so becomes even more intinately involved. A wonderful shot!
Krys Bailey replied
Thanks for that, Keith! What a sweet and helpful comment! ;o)
