Great shot of a Great Gray Royal Canuckie! Couldn't find it in any of my bird guides but I'm sure you're right! :lol: Love the puffed up little guy and the detail in the snow. Nicely done.

You have managed to capture an amazing amount of detail into such a high-key image. When I try this everything just flares out of control.
Very nice.
