This is a very nice capture of something rare. Shows how resilient these little critters are compared to us. I just keep going back to view it. I would never have thought these birds to be out and about at that temperature.

Remind me next time I complain about the weather that I should count myself lucky, as I could weigh just 2 oz. and be clinging to a tree branch outside. Revisiting this, still a fave. Can't imagine what the voters were thinking, not to rate it higher.

This is what photography is all about to me - capturing the feeling - the mood - the essence....not just the subject. I wish I could pull this off like you have here.

I like that I can't see the bird's eye. it looks as though he's flying even though he's on the branch. lovely colors and off-center composition. 7

This is better than an average portrait because of the winter atmosphere with flying snow and trees behind the bird.

Love the bg - really communicates the wind.

I really like this, not as a picture of a bird but for the feeling of winter.
