Allen:
Snow in Memphis? What is the world coming to!
You have captured it well, snow bits, soft light, effective DOF, nice display of feet, modest sized perch.
I might be tempted to try a version with just a bit more contrast. It shows well as is, and does look wintery, but the bird would pop a bit with some subtle contrast enhancements. I have over done it a bit to make the point, but I think there is room for tweaking to remove the slightly veiled look of the original.
Cheers

Thanks for the repost Randy. Here is redo from me adding in more contrast...
WOW! What a stunner!
I do prefer Randy's repost, there's so much punch.
Of course, if for me in real life the bird appeared washed out as in your OP then I'd leave it that way.

I love your repost Allen.
Love the snow and the head turn. I might be tempted to brighten the image by +5 or so,

Very nice pose, and the snow makes it special. Your repost is a definite improvement.
