    Hi John,
    Nicely composed image - I like the falling snow around this snowbird and the background sets it off well. Nice details and HA on the bird. Nice frame.

    Nice one John, I love the falling snow and the grey BG. It all matches the bird well which has nice details and HA. Like the snow on the perch too. TFS

    Agree with what has been said. I really like the bird in the falling snow. Great perch and a nice and cold looking background. Most of the images in low light situations that have been posted are looking very thin to me. And also too blue. You have to do extra work to these kinds of low light images to get them back to looking the way they should.

    I did the following. Lowered the midtones and black point in levels, in selective color I raised the blacks in the neutrals and the blacks, lowered the blacks in the whites, ran noise reduction on the background and reduced the blues in the whole picture.

    Didn't make a careful selection or fine tune 100% but wanted to give an idea of what can be done.

    I like the composition and the falling snow. Bird is nice and sharp too.
