Snowy owl with wild cottontail rabbit in talons. I spent almost 200 hours photographing a number of snowy owls during the winter of 2004. This one learned to hunt wild rabbits in the dunes of Fire Is, NY seashore, and would allow close approach if I belly crawled and took my time (often 2 hrs). It was a winter I and many others will never forget.

I was shooting the owl sitting still with a 400 f/2.8 & 1.4x and manual focus when it suddenly took off. This was one of the two images I quickly fired off with the first image being soft. I would have preferred the whole bird, but as you stated, it works, wink.
