Nature sure loves a copycat, Guy. I think I find the eye in the snow almost as fascinating as the bird.

Nice sharp capture. I think I might consider adding a bit of catch light to the eye.

Nice exposure Guy. Love the comp and the nice detail in the bird. Plenty of light in the eye of the larger version for me.

Beautiful bird, nice snow, and a fabulous perch. I like the way the perch angles and disappears toward the bottom left of the frame. Thanks for posting.
