    Falling snow in this really adds, like some of your other shots John. So much for me to like here. Great detail and tonal rendering on the bird, lovely perch and soft, neutral background. Only thing I'd revisit is that white on the bird's underside near the perch as it looks a little hot. Still a wonderful image regardless.

    Looks good overall. IMO it just needs to have a bit more room for the comp (top, bottom, right).

    Hi John, nice angled pose, and with some litchen showing on the perch. I like the colours on this bird, especially the 'pink' tail. Moving him into the frame a touch wont harm the image, and the hint of falling snow adds interest.

    Looking good John. I love the colours on the bird, the HA and that facial expression. Nice detail, and as Glenn, and Stu said. The snow adds. Good work.

    super shot lovely palette, I too would agree a little tight in the frame. I appreciate a high key image but I would lower the highlights a little.
    (I don't know about any one else but I find large bright images are not very comfortable on my eyes)
