Lovely snowy portrait, and I really like the splash! The white against this blue is quite lovely.

Pretty pose. The blue and white color palette really goes together nicely. The larger version is showing some camera movement. Not quite sharp and a bit noisy. Was this a significant crop?

Cool shot, Sandy. The slow shutter speed did some neat things with the water. Was this pre-dawn? The light looks nice.

Sandy,
I love the colors and the soft beautiful lighting on this image. In the thumbnail it looks like the snowy is surfing the face of a wave. I agree with Keith about the camera movement. Not quite sharp and a little bit of noise but nothing objectionable. I'm enjoying your selection of frames that you've been using lately. This one is very nice. Sorry to get off topic. :))

This is as nice a seaside snowy portrait as I have seen in a while. I might wish for a raised foot to show that golden slipper off, but we always wish for something. Maybe a little more room on the right if you have it just for some added space to look into.

Love the contrast between the detail in the bird and the filmy nature of the moving water
