    I shot this today in a 30 to 50 mile hr. winds with driving lake effect snow.

    This gold finch looked so sad today looking down in despair as the snow flew

    The photo does seem to show a few second thoughts on the bird's part. The angle of the driving snow, lowered head, and the snowy perch compliment each other nicely.

    I like the mood, perch, pose and snow in the BG and would sharpen the bird some more.

    Love the falling snow in this image and a good composition with nice catch light in the eye. Interesting pose that tells quite a story. Normally I would like to see a slight head turn but this one works for me. Many thanks for sharing.

    I really like this one! The atmosphere and mood you created with the dark BG, snowfall and forlorn looking goldfinch says it's gonna be a long winter. Beautiful.

    Looks like your flash synch . is set to "1st curtain". This gives you snow with tails looking like it is falling upwards. Try setting the synch. to "2nd curtain" and the tails will be reversed.
