On our third straight day of it snowing pretty much all day. Caught a break in the flakes mid morning. Back yard feeder with (lame) perch. Definately need to work on the perch a bit (can't get Alan's CD soon enough). No cloning, just crop and some levels/color. A bit of fill flash to combat the dull day.

I think this is the same as Dark Eyed Junco? We have a pair that nests in the grasses 10 feet out our back door every summer. I like the exposure, detail, and the perch looks natural. I have never seen one in the winter. I might touch up/darken the bright area to the upper left of the bird. Well done.
