Hi Sharon,

Very nice! I like everything about this image, the feel is wonderful, the clarity is spot on, the pose is perfect, I love the colors....the beak, the pastel salmon tail feathers. I even lke the traces of snowfall in the image.

Well done Sharon, Excellent Photo!

I agree, "the soft wintery feel" of the scene's a tapestry of nature that is sure to please!
And she's a beauty in her 'picture perfect" pose

Very nice Sharon
