A lovely shot, but looks soft on my monitor, perhaps a little USM.

Needs a bit of sharpening on the head but a nice shot.

Never seen (or had!) a Shag in the snow. Great shot, although perhaps you could consider decentralising.

Nice portrait and the rain/sleet/snow shows the conditions nicely

A nice image Ron but agree about the sharpening.
