Tom,
Nice and crisp and you were able to define the eye quite well

Very nice. The falling snow adds a lot to the image.

These guys are so perky and don't seem to let anything faze them. You've captured that quality here very well. Nice detail in the bird. a good perch, and look to the camera. Snow is a real bonus particularly as you can see it's wind driven and not just gently falling..

Tom,
Weather down here in NY is the same - crazy. Great capture. Love the perch, pose and background but the falling snow and little flakes on the bird make this one extra special.

I love seeing these snow shots. Really hot here and dry, so this is great. Just love it. Very cute little one and nice eye contact, good perch and great details Tom.

All the best Tom.

Danny.
