I am trying to enjoy them being around as long as i can. They will leave soon to lower elevation...it would be too cold to them in the snow. This was taken at the Southern edge of Mexico DF in the mountains.

I think it looks great showing the head-on angle. If it were mine I'd remove the white speck on the breast (patch tool used), tidy up the broken end (and bright) of the perch (patch tool) and do something with the eyes as they do look different. I guess its left eye (right for viewers) has the more natural look so I selected it with a magnetic lasso tool and copied to a new layer, then flipped it horizontal and placed it over the steely eye. hope you like the minor changes I made brother. :) Needless to say all the adjustments should be on separate layers in the master tiff (or psd) file.
