Beautiful bird and beautifully exposed. I love the pose, sharpness, and relatively clean snow. I would definitely lose the branches in ULC, and would also remove the dark spots (NOT the shadows) in the snow for a "purer" setting. Reversing the amount of space top and bottom (placing subject lower in the frame) would also work with the bill pointing up.
Lovely looking bird, nice job on the exposure with plenty of detail in the snow agree with Daniel on the branches.

Nice image. Agree with Daniels comments. That would certainly improve the image a lot (do not forget the brown spot under the tail feathers).
Sweet bird with a perfect EXP. Sharp. I would vote for leaving the branch :) I would lose the dark areas though. Love the pose, the posture, and the bird's attitude! A bit off the bottom would tighten it up.

Now I see it; don't know why it didn't appear before.
I would crop from the bottom just past the dark spot in the snow right of center.
I too would leave the branch and make the dark spot in the upper left quadrant disappear.
She/he (?) is lovely!
