Pose is nice, FG snow is great..
Posterization of BG.. I get that here on my images, does not happen on
other sites I post on.
Don't worry about it.

I like the pose, eye clarity and setting. Nice image Kevin.

The grouse looks real good, sharp, colors are nice and rich. Yes on the ice shelf, and the BG looks Van Goghie!

[John Mack]

Like the pose and the little ridge of snow the bird is standing on. Details look very nice.

Kevin, nice pose, HA, colors, and sharpness. I would selectively lens blur the gradient issues in the BG.
