Another one from my hide taken on the same day last Winter as my last upload.
The sunlight on the snowy background helps make the bird stand out really well.

This is a fine shot IMO Geoff. Very sharp with extraordinary detail. I like the perch and clean background too. Very well done.

Very nice image quality in this: excellent detail; focus; light; exposure. Nice position and composition.

Really lovely image!
Fine detail, love the pose!
Not so sure about the comp, though - you might try a vertical comp too, rather than the square-ish one.

Geoffrey,

Great pose, composition and detail. The comp you used works perfectly for me. Focus is spot on and the light is lovely.
