I really like this capture John, you caught the mood of the weather and of the bird. BG is great and bird very sharp as well as its perch.

Really like the ambiance the snow to this image, Jane. The orange breast really makes the robin pop against the snow and background. I see some noise in the background. Should be easy to fix that.

Excellent, John. You keep your windows so spotless! I love the snow and you caught a great pose.

The angle of the head and the angle of the snowflakes work together well. It tells a story (and not just one of a warm photographer behind a window

John, love this! The snow streaks and bits of snow on the beak are excellent.
You have a tiny bit of catchlight in the eye - a levels and/or brightness/contrast adjustment would bring it out a bit more.
Cheers!

Wonderful shot from a window as I would of never guessed that. I really like the overall composition with the blowing snow, perch and head turn, well done.

I love the energy of the environment contrasted with this apparently very solid little bird!
