Description

Thought some time whether I should post this "snow owl" or not ? It may look cruel to some of you, but nature isn't always that "beauty, cutie" we want it to be. And when you consider how cruel people are on this earth .... (Canon Eos300d,Sigma 170-500mm at 500mm, f5.6, ISO400, mf ) Thanks for your interest !

Ciao Chris. Brilliant this photograph ! I particularly love all the owls and to have been able to photograph this one, with its prey in the nozzle, it is really a chance ! I would not like to be in the place of the mouse... but it is the natural law, and in the animal world, there isn't the cruelty of the worst species of this world : the man !!!!

Your words are true. This is mother nature in the raw and although it can be hard to view sometimes...there's a beauty in it unmatched by no other. A fantastic capture!

Ein beeindruckendes Bild! Das wei Gefieder wirkt sanft aber es bleibt ein kleiner Rber. Ja, die Maus steht sehr weit unten in der Nahrungskette und sie hat viele Feinde. Ich find's sagenhaft, welch Gedankengge generell in den comments gepostet werden. Es steckt so oft viel mehr dahinter als nur das abgehgte pic. Genau so finde ich es interessant, daes genend Tiere auf der unserer Erde gibt die im Rudel gegen einen greren Feind antreten. Anderseits haben andere Tierarten nie eine Chance gegener greren Jern. Auch 1000 Mse knten den Kampf gegen eine Eule gewinnen. Oder evtl. doch???? Hmm! Ich knte mir aber mit 1000 Msen 'ne neue Cam kaufen ;-)

I guess it is a bit gruesome, but real life for certain. A beautiful capture of a magnificent creature.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT = my vote ! ! Wonderous capture, composition, color (hee, hee white on white!). Going on my desktop immediately---and, yes, perfectly reflects our "human" world of today. Many thanks, from a wildlife painter, for this incredible pix. unicorn1776.

Feel so sorry for the poor little fella! But at the same time happy for this beautiful guy cause he has to eat too. Nature is beautiful and at the same time sad. Great shot!
