Dark eyed junco

Got a break with some decent sunlight which helped to bring out some of the details of this junco. Not sure if the junco in the BG is a distraction or not.

I like the setting, John, and don't mind the other junco. I don't see a lot of detail in the larger version.

I also like the setting with the snow. For me the junco in the rear is ok...although the dark are of it does draw attention. Looks like you have just a touch of yellow snow on the R side of the frame...dog? I like your exposure on the snow and all the little bird footprints. Sharon

I agree with the others that the snow is a nice setting for this Junco. I like that it has a seed in it's mouth. I don't think the other Junco is too distracting.

Nice composition, John, and pretty good detail in the Junco. The bg Junco isn't too distracting. I do wish you could have gotten a little light in the eye.
