I took this picture yesterday, under extreme wind gusts and completely dark grey skies with a wind chill of -1, and at the very end of the 180-600's range. It's my first of season Snowy.

No one let me in to any warm places to take it, lol.

And that's not camouflage at work, but it looks amazing!

Used one way camo...

That sure would be a nice photo if it wasn't ruined by the jpeg compression artifacts.

So, here's a copy of the original

Are you sure that's the original? It's still rather crunchy.

It's not the original from the camera, it's the original post from the photographer. Can't do any better than that.

Ah gotcha. Fair enough.

Wow that’s actually a really lovely picture

I like it all the way up there surveying its territory.

I love watching the owl rise in the evening! 😀
