An extra nice perch Karen and I think the snow adds to its appeal. Very nice head turn for the pose and I enjoy the birds "rotundness" and the clean background. A strong image IMO.

Another cracker, Karen. Great funghi covered perch and a smooth BG make for a very pleasing image.

What a stunning shot Karen

I prefer this one to the last one, the colours look better and the snow adds that something extra.
Well done.

Geoff.

Nice eye contact and good details. Love the perch, the color of the fungi compliments the bird well. Nicely done.

I love the colors in the bird and the fungus on the perch-the wet snow adds a neat accent. This would make a great holiday card, IMO.

Verrry nice. Techs are spot on and that branch and whatever they are reddish things add a lot of interest, along with the snow.
Fine looking bird, Karen.

Love this one Karen. The great head turn and super perch with all its character make this image. Bird is tack sharp with a great BG to show it off. Well done.

Nice image. Like the bit of color in the perch and the snow at the bottom.
