A Happy Evening Grosbeak Enjoying The Snow.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I was pretty happy too when the snow started to fall while photographing these great birds as I know how this adds lots to an image. I like this pose as it shows the beautiful black-and-white wings.

Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/800s., f/5.6, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, FF. Setup near a feeder.

Really does look happy with that perfect look back. Love the colors, details, lichen and of course the snow. FF as usual with wonderful framing... TFS

[Bill Dix]

He certainly does have that happy look. Great pose, perch, snow, colors.

[Jack Backs]

Nice. The bird really pops. Love the falling snow.

[Brian Sump]

Gorgeous Daniel.

You're spot on with the pose, perfect. Open mouth adds.

Lichen and snow with the soft, neutral bkg compliment nicely. Well captured!

[Jim Crosswell]

Excellent image Daniel! I like the pose, perch, IQ, composition and falling snow.
