    Cute little guy. I like the snow around the beak.

    I love the bird and the details on him are great. I noticed the bright spot in the BG in front of the bird as soon as I opened the photo...if you are so inclined you may try toning it down or removing completely. Very nice catch!

    Great little bird! Nice detail and a good exposure. I like the diagonal of the mossy perch. I do find several of the BG elements a little distracting (the spot in front of the bird and the vertical branch behind it).

    Love the bird, the alert pose, and the perfect EXP. The trunk is huge compared to the bird.... A bit of selective sharpening of the face would help I believe....
