Hi Jon, a really sweet and cute capture. I like the framing and overall colour palette. I'm not a lover of the stem at the foot and behind the subject, distracting IMHO. I might suggest pushing the tones a bit more just to get that tonal range.

The recent cold conditions and snowfall have certainly created some cool opportunities.

Does everyone just post now without passing on feedback or comments to other threads?

Just my take FWIW.

Steve, I like your version, thanks for posting. When you "pushed" the tones I am guessing you increased the contrast (??), the small twig bottom right, I have to confess I intended to remove it...... and should have!!.

Not entirely sure why comments or feedback is so limited.... posts are limited too, I have quite a few to post but do not wish to seem to "hog" the forum.
 
Jon, there are many ways to skin a rabbit, and No not contrast, a bit of Curves, Colour Grading..., but also WB, yours carry's blue so it's cooler, nothing bad in that it works for the scene.

Not entirely sure why comments or feedback is so limited.... posts are limited too, I have quite a few to post but do not wish to seem to "hog" the forum.

Perhaps if folk replied to threads they may get comments, but multiple postings with a 24hrs, yes that just 'hogs' things, oh well...
 
Hi Jon ... lovely winter scene , love the icy frost on the twigs .
Might be a bit busy in terms of shrub , not much you can do ... apart from removing . So if one does like it .... I would invest in that work .
Nice details and sharpness in the subject .
Will leave the interpretation of tones , colors and " further enhancements " ... just to your taste . Nothing majorly wrong with your version .
