Colors really look good against the white snow and blue sky -- textures of the background are outstanding yet do not interfere with the bird -- ver nice shot to look at

Beautiful bird and this image shows it off Albert. The texture of the FG and BG really showoff the colors. Your exposure is perfect IMO. Wonderful!!!!!

Hello Albert

Well exposed , sharp detailed image. can only see one leg, is he holding up the off leg?
Maybe add a little more room in front of him if you had the space?
TFS

Albert, well done. Nice eye contact and detail, your exposure looks really good. I agree with scott in that the snow adds nice texture while not detracting from the image.
