Cindy, great job of framing the Grosbeak within the clusters of berries. Love the wintery feel provided by the background snow. The portion of berries on the beak tells the story well. Very nicely done.

Messy little girl but she's obviously really enjoying that feast! A lovely winter image and she's framed beautifully with the twigs and berries.

Cynthia, The image has excellent framing, "story-telling" and very sharp. On my monitor, it looks like a little less exposure would darken up the berries and the yellow on the top of the bird's head?

They really are messy eaters, especially when compared with Waxwings. Great winter mood and eye contact.
