John:

Sharp, well exposed, nice catchlight. Good POV.

In general I would like a bit more detail in the snow, but you certainly have captured the high key effect.

Hi John,

I love it as presented. Even the faint shadow under the bird.

with love, arti

Very nice John.
Good details on the bird. Great POV. Really like the snow crystals on the bill.
Would love this even more with a pose that was a bit more parallel to the sensor. Would show us more of the tail and side.

Lovely details and colors along with the snow beak, good job John.

Very nice John. I like everything here including the pose. Details are nice. This kind of pose really works for me and I don't always prefer the parallel to the sensor pose. Somehow this type of pose with chest out and head turned seems more proud to me.

Wow! Love how all the details pop in this against the snow. Nice work.
