Love the wintery feel, Jim. Nice pose with the bird parallel to the back of the camera and the nice eye contact. Well placed and composed. Your backyard sounds like a great place.

Jim this is great - love the set up and the winter scene looks very eye catching, he is one cute little bird!

[Grace Scalzo]

How nice. Beautiful winter scene with just the right about of intesting elements to compliment your subject without distracting.

Love the setting and the image, might be a little stronger with some of the frame taken off the right side.

[Richard Flack]

I really like this image Jim. They say you need a diagonal perch but I dont think that always applies. I love the snow and wintery feel and the curious look on the junco. Also super detail and well exposed. Well done!

Fabulous shot, Jim! Excellent pose, perch and BG. The oof snowflakes in the BG takes this to the top.

[William Dickson]

Another beautiful wintery scene you have here Jim. Killer detail and exposure and the snow falling really helps to create the scene.. Very nice work, as usual.
