One of my favorites too, but they're few and far between in my part of South Dakota. Gorgeous setting here, and a perfect pose and head turn. Only thing I might do is soften or eliminate the fill-flash highlight in the eye as it looks a tad unnatural.
I'd kill for a shot like this though.
Wonderful Image, love how the habitat enhances the images rather then being a distraction.

Great composition, exposure and detail all there. As more of a fan of mild habitat vs bird on a stick, I love the setting.
Very well done.

Jeff, This is the sweetest shot! I love the snow along w/ the evergreen perch -The colors are perfect- nice and sharp-really well done
Always great to see this species. I like the details and setting, the ice on the branch adds to it.
Wonderful job on this beautiful bird and the environment justs adds to the beauty of the image, a real winner.
