Sweet! I wish it was a bit darker over all and the feet were more visible. Nice catch light and composition. TFS!

Very nice photo, Dave.
I too like photographing the birds some may pass by because they're not very 'flashy' or colorful. :)
Perhaps you'd consider just a bit more contrast to enhance the impact.
Not that I disagree with your interpretation of the bird; it's just a suggestion.

Thanks for the helpful feedback. After viewing the image this morning I agree that the image does not accurately portray the actual conditions.

Here is the same image with much less PP. C&C appreciated.

The junco really stands out now, Dave! :)

Good looking photo. I really like the nice pose as well as sharpness. I might have cropped a bit off the right and bottom to move the bird a bit off centre. Dave
