there must be different variations of this bird...we have magpie's here in FL but they don't look like this...they are quite brown and "dull as a magpie" excellent detail

HDR? I like the shot, but the contrast is a little low.

Comment by AbeSapien2:
What a magnificent frozen waterfall with the small touches of golden sweetlight repeating on the treetops and touching the rocks. The snow sets off the warm & veined brown tones of the rocks in a beautiful complement and the angle of the larger one is a perfect frame for the scene as well. The lower jagged edges of the main rock echoes the uneven diagonal of the treeline and draws the eye up to the darker towering pines. A hint of blue sky makes promises that while this Winter might be cold, it is not necessarily long and there will be small savored moments of pure Magick along the way.

I have a feeling there can be some really fantastic images taken at this location. To bad this is not one of them. For me it seems very simple and very safe. Straight on is not always the best way to take a image. Specially of something with so much character and personality as frozen falls along cave walls.

What a pretty setting, and the iridescence is lovely.

The focus seems to be just a little soft. I think you could have gotten away with a bit more of a saturation boost on your greens and this would have been even better received. I love the BG bokeh.

Nice shot of a very common bird, but apparently under appreciated bird. This shot really captures that hard to shoot iridescence of the flight feathers.
