Cardinal snowscapes

We had (hopefully) one of our last snow storms of the year in Minnesota this past weekend. While it is a nuisance to drive in, it can make for a nice added element to an image. Here is a female Cardinal that came into one of my props.

Nice perch, pose and the snow adds to it. What is in the BG? I wish for a catchlight.

The snow and the flakes are a nice addition to this image.
