Beautiful capture and tonality on the cardinal. If this was not a full frame, you can achieve better composition by moving the cardinal so its head and tail follows the Rule of Thirds using the custom shape tool after all tonality is corrected in photoshop.

I love that little snow flake. Good eyes made this image so sharp. Congratulations, James. #1239610
