He's a pretty bird. Love all the frost on the background. I think he may be a little dark overall and could be brought up in PP.

That is a great setting and I like the composition, the frosty perch and the pose very much. I would try to lighten the bird up just a little bit though. Overall just excellent.

Nicely done Phil,

The mix of warm and cold tones really work.

Cheers

Something about this is very captivating - the frost is wonderful and the small in the frame bird has a great pose.
Hard to tell in a small image, but the bird seems a bit soft, and might need a little more selective sharpening.

Nice as posted. IMO the bird is fine as is and stands out nicely against the nice frosting habitat.
