Back yard setup. Image converted with DPP and processed with CS6, Nik DFine, Nik Color Efex Pro and Topaz InFocus. A gloomy, cloudy morning thus the high ISO and low shutter speed. I was lucky this fella perched for me as they almost always stay on the ground. Also he sat very still for a few seconds:)

Sweet image, Joel. Love the pose and the setting.
I saw the first one in my snow covered back yard today.
They have beautiful colors this time of the year.
He has feeding on Crab Apples.

Very lovely details Joel. Even though there's no snow, the image has a nice wintery feel because of the blue/grey in the bg. Tiny dust spot top left that I'd evict. TFS.
