Wonderfull image like the colour contrast against the snow and the clear white ground

Ron, I agree that this is a wonderful image, the snow sets it off nicely. As a beside, you need to make more effort in giving back to the forum commenting on other photogs' works. We all benefit from others' view points. All the best for the new year.
