Hi Adrian, I always like these type of images where the subject blends into the FG. Good detail on the bird, and although the FG is OOF, Im wishing for a bit more detail. There is a huge contrast between the snow and the BG, and would try a version by maybe reducing the reds in the BG. Just a thought.
I like the cloud like feel and the bird has good detail and is sharp. I like Stu's suggestion on reducing the strong impact of the BG. Well done Adrian.
