    A bit too central I feel John, a bit more in front I feel, but again like the Deer I like the atmosphere. The perch looks a bit pushed in the PP, backing off on the Contrast, Shadows & Blacks will I feel, help overall. To me SS will change the look and feel of the falling snow, DoF will retain or just loose itself in the BKG.

    I like it a lot too. Pretty much everything about it. Just a bit more head-turn would likely have brought the eye to life.

    Hi John,
    This looks nice to me. Love the falling snow, BG, details, and color on the bird. Well done.
