Caught this junco at the backyard set-up. These guys would rarely come off the ground, but this guy jumped up on the perch for just long enough :wink:

Nice shot with good exposure and framing, Doug! :lol:
Like to have a little bit more contrast.
And yes, the snow flakes make it over the top ...

This is awesome Doug. You did a wonderful job picking out the perfect perch. You have so much more patience than I do with waiting for these guys to jump off the ground. :D

The snow makes this shot really stand out. Everything else is right on too!

Lovely image, snow really makes it very seasonal and interesting, the perch is first-rate.

Great combination of perch (willow?), snow, and subject. A very "typical" setting for this bird, and tack sharp as well. The BG looks a bit reddish on my monitor, but whites on the birds look okay.
