Well got 10 inches of snow today, so went out driving to see what would be crazy enough to be out in this weather besides myself. Of course there was not much, but I did come across these Starlings and they looked quite good against the snow. See you all around on site.

Great shot. Each bird is fantastic in its own way. Love the branches too and the simple BG. A+

Hello Greg,

This is really beautiful, well composed and an excellent capture of these three starlings.

Fantastic work, thank you for sharing!

Absolutely wonderful, Gregory. Love the three starlings. All three of them have fantastic poses and are expertly captured. Also love the excellent composition with the branches and the snow. TFS. : )

Touche! Your starlings in the same snow as my cardinal! Very nice capture - they look as if they're freezing!

This is the nicest picture of starlings I have ever seen. Great composition and sharpness.

Hello Gregory!
Wonderful capture.Details,sharpness,POV,contrast,
pose of starlings and composition are excellent.
TFS...:-)

Hi Greg,
Great capture!
Excellent details in the dark plumages,
good contrasting and nicely framed.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Greg.
Excellent catch - three in one. Difficult shot always. Excellent composition and quality. Lovely trio.

Excellent capture Greg. Very well composed with great interest. The sharpness, DOF, detail and exposure is top-notch. I hope you don't mind, but I did a quick WS. Subjective as to whether the change is an "improvement". Let me know what you think?
Very well done.

Hi Greg,
Excellent capture! This trio does not look like they were enjoying the snow all that much. Great composition and framing on this. A very difficult exposue that you handled vry well. Good colors and detail throughtout the entire tonal range. Nice work!

SUPERB! Your composition is absolutely wonderful! Everything is perfect. I put in my favorites!

wow,

Well done!
Ana:)

Now that is a funny looking trio. Hard to expose properly those black birds on white snow. You managed quite well. Nicely composed and framed image. Sharpness is excellent. Well done, Greg!

Hi Greg

This is a fantastic shot of the Starlings. I love these untidy looking guys puffed up against the cold. :-)
