I found this in my files from a snow storm two years ago.

I can see details in the red so did well with exposure. ( I just overexposed one)
Nice pose, perch and the vivid red looks good against snowy background, Bill.

Beautiful Bill. The perch, pose, BG and bird are all sublime. I can't believe you have left an image like this not posted!

[Adhika Lie]

Shooting red colored objects are not easy and this one is exceptionally well done and I think the composition is spot on.

Think that nice bit of interest with the lichens on the perch adds to this Bill, bird and snow look really good ,pleased you found it.

Perfect for this months theme. Beautiful bird, good control of the reds. Pleasing composition. Thank you for sharing, Bill.

You have the essence of a winter scene here Bill. A superb image all round.

[Bill Dix]

Thank you all.

A bit late to your beautiful post, Bill. Love the striking contrasts, the stacked snow on the perch, and wonderful detail on the entire bird.
