Canon 500mm f4 IS, 1.4x, ISO 400, F7.1, car as blind, posted here now that human perches allowed! I assume this is an old fence post.

Nice pose and BG colors and the snow adds a lot. Fence post or not, it still has some character with the lichens on it.

Nice feel to this one. Perch has character and the head angle in line with the falling snow adds a nice touch.

I like the overall mood to this. The head down, wings drooped, and snow falling make for a pensive feeling. I would only selectively lighten the iris to give the eye more visual impact. Well done.

The snow flurry really adds to the visual impact of this image. The bird appears to be shielding its eyes from the falling snow, but I'd still like a little more eye contact.
