Fabulous underlighting and great detail on the feathers. Love the flake streaks. He's all puffed up to stay warm :-)

Comment by Jutilda:
Such a beautiful shot. Reminds me of a favorite child hood poem

The north wind doth blow
and we shall have snow
but what will poor robin do then?
He'll sit in the barn
and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing
poor thing

Although this is a cardinal, it made me remember a happy time with my mom read that poem to me. The movement of the snow and her touch of crimson is lovely against the arched steel gray of the "perch."
