    I like the snowy setting, sharpness, composition and dark patches in the BG help separate it from the snow. A challenging exposure situation that you handled well. Very well done Will!

    I always love photographing this species. You got a nice pose on top of the snow. I do feel the bunting itself is a tad dark, especially on the face area, and a much needed catchlight would have added life to the eye. Hope you got warmed up quickly afterwards!

    Hi Will, lovely winter setting here, and I like how the colours pop against the snow. Another vote for adding some life to the eye.
