Love the colors Rex...and Shawn is right that the snow adds to the "atmosphere" of the capture.
I don't see this one in my area so thanks for the treat!

Yes, the snow does make for a different setting Thanks, all, for the comments. Ian, I am in western Washington St. near Snohomish. Branches are snapping off the trees from the weight. Hope we don't lose many trees. They're predicting 3/4" ice coating everything. Lights keep flickering and we lost power already for 5hrs. So, i get off and on pc, don't like losing power with pc on. I've been on POTN way more than normal, for me. This can get addicting.

Man that is great you exposed it perfect which is hard to do with birds with black heads in the snow with grey light. Crystal clear and sharp, Good job. I hope I can do this good when I grow up.:) Which lens did you use?
