    With the easy access we Brits have to these little fellas it's difficult to come up with something original, so hopefully the snowy feel and ground level hit the spot. I was hoping he'd give me more of a side profile, but he never turned further than 3/4 which didn't work

    I think this is lovely.
    I like the pose and the snow.I like the pose very much.
    I could see a version with a sliver off the bottom. The bits of green grass add a nice touch of color.

    Agree this is a lovely image, and agree on a tad off of the bottom, but also a little left and right. Your low angle and snow really show this bird off well!

    I love it! The side lighting works very well here. Nice pose, and apt comp for it (with the suggested tweaks good alternates). I like the snow setting with grasses peeking through. If anything I'd try to tame down the grayish blotch near lower left corner. Super nicely done.
