Phenomenal focus and composition. Ironic how you picture is in the snow and mine it was 100+ degrees. Well done on your ribbon.

Congrats Robert, hard to believe it's your first fs ribbon, but what a beauty!

So beautiful Robert. Congrats. Love the falling snow.

Congratulations Robert. I can only imagine how you feel; a FS ribbon with a bird! Lovely image with a high capture difficulty. Postcard pretty and all the right flavours for this time of year, red and snow. From what I gather a typically iconic American bird. Had I had a chance to vote in this FS I'd have awarded a 9. My assessment concurs with jjstager2 and glad2badad.

Robert - I really enjoyed this photo. Well deserved placement in the end results. I like how you have the birds attention, but not so invasive that it's going to spook (although it's probably relatively "warm" and didn't want to move unless it had to). :-) I gave it a 9, the only thing holding back the 10 was the signature of man in the photo (the fence post and slats).

Congrats on the ribbon Robert. I didn't get the chance to view/vote on all the images so missed this but it's a great shot/commune with nature.

Masterful composition! The snowy environment adds drama. Ideal saturatiion. Wonderful detail, especially the eye catch glint. Congrats on your Red ribbon for the "redbird". Cardinals do not prefer the coniferous forests of the Colorado mountains. I miss them. Am enjoying yours immensely.

Congrats on your ribbon, Bear! I can't believe I got a ribbon in a FS before you did! If it's any consolation, at least you get to keep yours :)

Love that the ribbon matches your bird here. Beautiful.

Tell that beautiful bird to stick around, Bear.

Way to go. Congrats on the long awaited Free Study ribbon! So glad this fellow hung around for a while :-) For once he preferred the slight shelter provided by the shrub to the food at the birdfeeder...

It's hard for me not to fall in love with a shot of a Cardinal in the snow! If only those blurred areas weren't there, this would be perfect for me.

He looks a wee bit miffed at the early cold. Lovely with the falling flakes, and those caught in the greenery.
