Taken during a snow squall last weekend. Manipulated a bit too much for the avian forum.

I think your image is outstanding, specially the snow. Could you indicate your camera settings?

It's all one shot. I cut out the bird and moved it in the frame because of a part of a tree in the background.

I like the first image Dan but also like the one with the tree. Nice capture and removal.

Nicely done. I like how you have been able to capture the snow. The background provides nice contrast for the bird and snow.

This is great Dan. A beautiful BG and wonderful color saturation make this image. I love the fact the bird's landing gear are down. He must have just launched off that tree. Well done.
