Nice -- I love the falling snow, the perch, the bird has a great pose. I think some more NR on the BG would help. TFS

I love the snow accumulated on the perch, easy to tell which side the wind was coming from! A wee bit more head turn our way would have been perfect, and either toning down or fully eliminating the snowflake to the right of the tail would also be good. Glad you posted this species - although charming and common it does not get a ton of love!

Yes to a little NR to the BG but otherwise a great looking wintery frame. Details and exposure look good too.
Well done
