The light... the exposure... the BG... the details... the composition... all perfection in my book!!! The cool (pun intended) perch puts it over the top!!! Congratulations!!!!
This shot has it all. The BG is gorgeous and compliments the bird. Love the perch and the V. The perch doesn't overpower the bird, and the snow is an added touch. Can't forget the perfect head turn. Great capture! Marina
Cool capture, I like the shape of the perch and the ice on it. Great exposure control, details head angle and BG, too. I would be tempted to clone out the little twig sticking out of the perch.
Wonderful perch, light and colours.....great to see you got away with way more than just a bird on a stick. Although it is in fact a bird on a stick it has personality...great effort!
