I absolutely love the light on the buzzard and the setting he is in. Those ice-covered grasses are simply stunning.
I do not like the colors of the raindrops/freezing rain- at first I thought they were bugs of some kind. I wonder why they look so grey?
Lovely head turn and IQ.

The light is fabulous and the iced grass is so unusual and striking. Ideally I would like to see a little bit more of the feet. The rain drops are perhaps a bit distracting?

[John Mack]

Very unquie frame. I never seen anything like this. The background looks like a window to me with raindrops on it. The ice makes this one. Nice light as well.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I'm gussing the "raindrops" are actually from a breaking wave nearby? That would explain the ice-encrusted grasses, with water splashing and accumulating on the them in the freezing cold? Gorgeous light, beautiful BG. Of course Murphy's Law states that the one leg would be obstructed. Rather unique, I like it a lot.

[Dorian Anderson]

Yes, the icy grass is stunning! And the bird is perfectly lit. I agree the falling rain/ice has a funny color to it, but that's relatively minor in the grand scheme.

Hello to all , These drops are not raining, these drops of water are a spray on the farm

[arash_hazeghi]

love the ice and the icicles here, if mine I'd reduce the brightness just a tad on the head. I like the hint of blood on the beak too

The setting is amazing! The feather detail is good, nice low angle and good pose. IS the dropplets in the BG rain or coming from something else?
