Lovely image , good use of DOF, great colours and a nice catch light in the eye...
Only minor gripe is the twig in it's bum, think I would remove it

A cracking capture details spot on the 1D3 works fine in the right hands.

Snow bunting in snow ... where else would you want one? A lovely full portrait which seems to have really caught the essence of the bird and its environment.

Hello Philip.

Super looking image and just love the way you have captured this, with the super detail in the bird and forground. With an excellent background which is OOF but still enouth detail to clearly make it out instead of being completle soft, and I think that as work wonder on this image.
