Nice snow photo, I would loosen the crop if you have it...

If this is processed with some new changes to PP John, then nice one!

I love blue jays in the snow!
Love the color palette, DOF and direct gaze.
Well done!

Lovely colors, perch, snowy setting. Good detail. I like the frontal stare, but would also like one with his head turned about 80 degrees.

This totally works for me and makes me shiver. TFS

Ditto all the positives above. I love the falling snow and the soft light. If you have one with the head turned to the side, please post it :)

with love, artie

A sign of things to come! I love cloudy days, and even more in the winter with all the ambient light bouncing off the snow cover. Nicely done John.
