looks good, Jay, perhaps a bit dark. Hard to tell if the head is as sharp as the rest of the body. I recognized the bird and rocks before seeing your name on it :). Snow Bunting sightings are rare enough here in Kansas that birders have come from across the state to see this bird.

Nice shot Jay. It's not easy to judge all the detail for this image but what I can see I like. Fine head turn and catchlight too. The OOF foreground rock is dark enough to not be a distraction for me. I agree though that the bird itself could be brightened up a little.

Very nice, Jay. Excellent detail. Too bad the head wasn't turned just a touch more into the sun, but a very fine image as posted.

Nice capture, I like the low angle. I agree it looks a little dark.
