Interesting perch, BG and pose. The snow adds to it. It would have been great to see a bit more of the tail.

Excellent in all respects,no nits from me!

lovely composition...

I like it, Pierre. I was thinking of what to say about this image and then I read Axel's comments - he already said it. :)

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very nice composition. Great perch and the lightly accumulated snow on it is a big plus.

[Jim Poor]

Nice pose and good colors in the BG. I might be tempted to do the opposite of "normal" and boost saturation in the BG a little so that the gray bird stands out some more.

[Glenn Bartley]

I love the perch, BG and setting. Just wish for a pose that showed the tail.
