Other than being dead center, an excellent image. :smile:

I like the pose and the high key bg provided by the snow, Jerry. To my eye it looks just a trifle soft, though it seems to fit the mood, so I'm ambivalent about further sharpening.

Interesting setting with the snow and I like the preening pose, way to go.
