Birds in Winter (in colour)

Congratulations on third place! Winter isn't all about white snow, and this photo shows this beautifully with the soft brown colors on the bird and background. The fluffy cattail plants have a nice texture, and it's interesting to see how the bird grips them. Wonderful work!

Congratulations on fifth place! This is a very cool image with the winter weather and extreme closeup of the bird. The sharpness of the bird's face is complemented well with the bokeh in the image. I also love the varied shapes of the snowflakes. Great job!

Congratulations on winning the contest! I love the minimalism in the composition of this photo, as well as the pure white color of the background and the bird. The bit of red on the bird's head makes for a great focal point. Very well done in capturing this image and for the great post-processing!

Congratulations on second place! This photo really brings the raven some personality. I love the texture seen on the black feathers, as well as the sharpness in the bird's face. The contrast between the white snow and the black bird is really nice. Great job!
