You captured the floating snowflakes so well while obtaining very nice detail of the sparrow. I like the clear definition of the feathers and the depth is attractive. Great depiction of cold!

That's a worthy winner, even before the results have been announced. Lovely colouring, and great use of DOF. Sharp focusing and the snow falling is an added bonus. Well done :-)

Very beautiful scene and contest entry. The way it is all done in shades of white or tan is very soft and appealing to the viewer. Love the diagonal branch that leads your eye into the scene. Nice detail and soft lighting. Good luck in the contest.

Oh my this is a wonderful winter nature scene of this Sparrow in the Winter. Your central composition is engaging and superb eye clarity draws us into this wonderful scene. I love the beauty that you have captured in this scene in your background depicting a winter in snow. Your focus is spot of sharp with good lighting capturing good details and rich colors in your sparrow. This is an excellent entry into the Cold Photography Contest and a good contender and good luck. Such a gorgeous and realistic shot of this sparrow in winter. Thanks for sharing!

Very wintered piece! I felt chilled just looking at it and with barely any snow visable. I really like the birds features. It looks so real like u can reach out and touch it.

This is a gorgeous photo for the contest and I love the wintery scene. Wonderful shot of the sparrow with beautiful focus and detail.
Love the small snow flakes, and yes it does appear to be cold. Best of luck in the contest.

Hello

This for me is an image where the background makes the story. The light and overall grey color mixed with the bare limbs is really beautiful. One can feel the winter radiate out.

The small bird is a cute devil and nicely presented. I like the sharp body and delicate little feet clutching the bare limb. Colors are very nice and the composition is excellent. I do not see an area that needs any improvement. This is a very nice story image.

Thank you for sharing today.

such a precious image of the sparrow. I love how you caught the snowflakes in the photograph. Looks like its a Christmas card or something from a bird magazine. Everything is just in perfect balance .
