Monica, I love the bird and the BG right behind it a lot. I might have tried a vertical comp for this to eliminate the bright spots in the BG to the left of the bird. I would crop just to the right of the right-most bright spot. I really like the comp that results and the wonderful cohesive BG.

Wow, that's a puff-ball Robin Monica - looks like it's swallowed a tennis ball. I like the setting, your DOF and exposure. The bright spots to the left don't really bother me and I like the image - esp that rotund profile.

Monica,

This is a very delightful image imo, love how fluffed up the robin is and how the snow accentuates the fluffy pose.

Happy holidays to you.
