Nice one Craig. The bird is well detailed & is looking straight at you. I like how the bird stands out against the background & how the snow covered branches have framed him.

I agree with Lee's comments. They never seem to be as obliging around here.

Thats a beauty!

Buzzard almost looks 3-D jumping out at you! The snow on the berries and falling all around sets the scene.

Cracking detail.

What a stare! The snow and framing by the branches and berries really make this. Might be tempted to chop a bit off the left? :smile:
