I like the mood of this shot with the falling snowflakes. A bit of a head turn would make this an even
better shot.

Rachel, sweet bird and great-looking perch with the berries and the feathery snow clumps. Love the mood with the falling snow and the interesting colors of BG that ties in with the berries - beautiful capture.

The falling snow really helps this image and the complimentary background color is lovely. Personally when i am arranging perches for set up photography i try my hardest to not show the very obvious pruned branches. If one does show up it gets addressed afterward. I see three clipped branches in this shot and it could be because i do some set-up stuff that i am taking notice. They don't always land where you want them and perhaps your plan wasn't to show these ends. Still very pretty

Thanks for looking,
