It's Hedwig! :-)
Beautiful shot. I like how perfectly the motion is frozen.

Location
Island Beach State Park, NJTime
Somewhere in the middle of the day...Lighting
all natural light...it was a nice, clear, sunny dayEquipment
Nikon D300, 70-300m lens...no flashInspiration
I had heard that the snowy owls had been spotted in the area... this day was my third attempt to try and see one... after spending (hours) in and out of the bitter cold, on the verge of giving up, I spotted this beauty in the distance...Editing
minimal tweaking in lightroom and a little cropping...In my camera bag
It depends on where I'm going and what I think I'll be seeing or photographing.. but my lenses range from 16mm to 500mm...Feedback
patience, patience, and more patience.... (and dress warm!)
