Woke up this morning with the most beautiful first snow fall of the season, absolutely no wind ( which is rare for this part of the country). Natural high key effect of this Male at one of my feeders.

What a fun shot, John. It looks good on my tablet and they usually look better on my calibrated screen, so no nits here. Have a great holiday.

John,

nice Christmas to you and your family and a healthy and succesfull 2016.

I may have cropped abit from the top of the image to have less of the iron since I find it a bit dominant. Interesting pose.

Nice Christmasy shot. Beautiful bird in an arresting pose. I would suggest cropping in a bit and eliminating some of the heavy iron at the top.
