very nice find, love the snow on the perch and the perfect HA. I wish both eyes were lit. BG is a bit noisy and can use some NR

Great find and image, Geoff. Wonderful eye contact, detail and also like the snow on the angled perch. Well done.

What a wonderful find. Can't find these guys along my highways. Great look, detail, and perch. Yes to a bit of NR on the BG.

Fantastic image. Love the POV, pose and perch. The colours on the bird blend real well with that BG.

Very nice frame and I especially like the frosty perch and the nice mottled BG.
Nice eye contact but I do wish that they left I was better lit.
I think you could easily lighten up that part of the face a bit which would give it a little nicer look.
Well done

I like the eye contact, sharpness, perch, details, BG and composition. Beautiful bird and image Geoff!
