Snowy King of the Hill

[ChasMcRae]

This Mockingbird insisted on running my set up on this snowy morning. He ran all birds off as they gathered to feed. He especially loved to run the Goldfinches and Siskins away. Eventually after several hours he began to slack off allowing the birds longer feeding periods.

I like the setting, snow and eye contact. I would increase the saturation a few points. It looks as if the critical focus is in front of the bird.

Charles,
Nice environmental shot. I love the falling snow. Look forward to more from this series.
Cheers,

The falling snow is great as is the catchlight in the eye, not sure if the narrow dof looses some of the feather detail or is this normal?
