    Nice alert pose on a good perch against a beautiful BG. I'm torn on the "splashing" snow in front of the breast, but I would definitely remove the oof one touching the bottom of the perch.

    I like the bird and the perch, good feather detail, colour and pose. Head turn is nice. The background is lovely but not too keen on the light circular blotches of OOF snow (?)

    I like the falling snow but would remove the one Dan mentioned and also the one in the top left corner. Nice BG and pose from the bird. Details are nice. Like the lichen perch. TFS
