Nice work John - a good diagonal composition and the lighting has brought out the bird's colouring very well, with just enough falling snow to give the image that something extra. Well done :toast: :toast:

You needed the out of focus trees and made good use of them, nice wing angle and eye contact.You can see clearly the positive effect the reflective light has in this image,very nicely done. :toast: :toast:
