Hi phil,

Great detail in the bird in what looks like very cold surroundings. A bit big in the frame for me i'm afraid.

Well capture Phil, the head on works well. The frozen snow is typified a little in the detail of the feathers. I also like the hint of light in the eyes just giving them that lift, any more that can be brought out under the beak & black chest, hint more definition? :wink:

I'm afraid I would differ from Steve in that I don't think the head on pose works on this one Phil. However I really like the hoar frost setting.
