Now that's a real cracker.
Would maybe clone out the block of ice and put a bit more space to the right if possible.

The "iceblock" that needs is actually a tray of suet. I put suet with cranberries, suet with mealworms, seed, peanuts, mince pies (:shock and warm water out for them.

I'll have a go with the cloning tool when I get a chance.

If your feet are cold then put on some boots and hat!

It's a good pic - I hope you don't mind my bit of fun I'll delete if you wish.
I agree with cloning the ice block and a bit more space on the right too
Good luck

No problem at all Bob, other than you could have given the poor chap a scarf.

Excellent shot,
I also agree with Alan and Mike regarding cloning the ice and space to the right, but it really is a top shot

Great capture Agree on the cloning. It does feel slightly tight near the beak, is there any more room to the right?

SPLUTTER.

I'm sure glad I wasn't drinking a cup of tea as I scrolled down to that.

Excellent shot. Agree with ice cloning.

Just done the calc's, with those steel toed boots on, it has little chance of getting airborne. Maybe a pair of slippers and a strap for the hat.

That said, woe betide anything that gets in its way on the snow...

Great shot. 1st bird shot scene i have seen with a bit of humor behind it. Well done.

And the CofG would be a bit aft, even if the all up weight is within limits - might have to consider a bit of trim adjustment?

Is this any better?

Definitely better without the block of ice, but the cloning looks a little off, I think you'll need to clone a patch of in-focus snow in there as well to line up with the plane of focus. The extra space on the right looks good!

The bird appears to have changed colour slightly, and got a bit noisier?
