Moonshot No. 2. My 2024 Snow in the Moon retake. A better edit of a second frame. The lighting was very challenging, though awesomely beautiful.

This winter has been different for owls. November and December were a rush for snowy owls in Ohio. January was dead. Maybe they were all hanging out on frozen Lake Erie eating ducks.

Regardless, I treasure all of my moments with the most beautiful birds in the whole wide world, especially when they shine in the moonlight!

      I like the warmer colors of #2 and the off axis glance.

      I’m glad I went back and found the original though. It’s fun to compare them and interesting how some minor changes make it feel like a very different image,
