the focus is on the column rather than the bird... the bird looks a lil out of focus

beautiful details, the snow is white, not oversharpened, rich textures, well done.

Good composition... a hard to catch shot! I think the focus has caught slightly on his tail and wings, but it's a good shot nonetheless.
