Big Time Welcome Richard !!!!! You can post at the max of 800 pixels if you wish for better viewing.

I like the mood very much. Having some green with the snow is just great. I also like the puffed up bird giving you a sense of cold. Would try re framing the bird away form the middle of the frame. Don't want to center them !!! Excellent and looking forward to more !!!!

Welcome to BPN Richard! Good first post - offerring a mix of spring and winter :-) There a couple of OOF elements that distract a bit, but still a very pleasing image (one that I would have liked to see bigger...) Keep them coming!

Welcome Richard! A nice first post. I like the snow accumulation on the branches and the bird's puffed up feathers. Agree with the suggestions from the other moderators. Thanks for posting!

Welcome, Richard! Very nice first post. I like the winter mood and would love to see it bigger, which makes it much easier to comment. Keep them coming!
