 I changed my mind three times as to what shot I liked and now this is it, a sweet little finch hanging on in the wind on a really cold day. I hate choosing what shot to put in...hope you like the little guy.

Love the red berries as a backdrop and the feather detail is nice. The eye desperately needs a catchlight; it looks like a bottomless pit on my monitor, which is kind of creepy.
