I like the snowy setting, sharpness, composition and dark patches in the BG help separate it from the snow. A challenging exposure situation that you handled well. Very well done Will!

[Daniel Cadieux]

I always love photographing this species. You got a nice pose on top of the snow. I do feel the bunting itself is a tad dark, especially on the face area, and a much needed catchlight would have added life to the eye. Hope you got warmed up quickly afterwards!

[Karl Egressy]

Nice setting for a nice looking bird, Will.

agree it needs a catch light

Hi Will, the only(!) thing i miss is a little spotlight in his eye. this beautyful bunting we have in the wintertime on the isle of helgoland.

Hi Will, lovely winter setting here, and I like how the colours pop against the snow. Another vote for adding some life to the eye. :w3
