    Hi John, your winter images of cardinals and bluejays in the snow make me remember when I was up north. Almost giving me the urge to leave the sunshine. Lovely image, thank you for sharing.

    Love the falling snow and how well the bird pops. Colors work well throughout with the perch. I might tone down the reds just a little. TFS

    Christmas card perfect! You are doing well with your feeder set-ups.
    I would clone out the dark round snowflake in LLC- it looks like a dust spot.

    It is Christmas card... I would add a touch of contrast.

    Lovely image John...makes me feel cool just looking at it. I agree with Alex's suggestion regarding toning down the reds a little.

    Pretty much perfect. I see plenty of details in the reds and they really pop against the snow. TFS

    I like that there are s few snowflakes sprinkled on the face. Nice and bright image. I'm with Gail in regards to the small darker spot, otherwise all good.

    The image certainly has impact. It is a beautiful scene.
    For my personal taste it smacks me in the eye a little so I would lower luminosity somewhat, possibly reduce the saturation of the red a tiny bit
