    Ha ha, I took the very same picture a couple of weeks ago...I will hold off posting it for now. I like the pose and the high key snow BG. I do think the subject itself could go a tad brighter, but nice overall. These guys look so content in those brutally cold temperatures!

    PMP = pretty much perfect. I am with Dan on adding a bit of pop to the bird. Some NIK CEP Detail Extractor/Tonal Contrast or even a simple Auto Contrast at 15-20% on the bird only would do quite nicely. a
