I was going to delete this shot until I enlarged it and saw the twinkle in his eye!

Thanks Carol. Yes we have enough snow, it can certainly stop now. The backgrounds are snow, not the sky!

Thank you! Winter is hard enough, but luckily photography makes it bearable!

Very nice shots, Sandy, and such variety. Just as a suggestion, try the chickadee shot as a square crop, taking out the dead area at the top. I think it will change the feel of the picture completely.


All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.

Beautiful shots, Sandy. Plus 1 on the crop suggestion. And you can always add an eye catchlight w/ a clone tool if you have access to one. Good way to bring interest to an eye that looks flat or is lost in black feathers/shadows. I'm one of the crazies who would like to see some snow-brighten this dull, dreary winter we're experiencing. Drove in fog last nite-always makes my wife nervous.
