Exposure and cropping look fine to me, Dave. Nice image, though I rarely see these looking so calm.

Beautiful photograph Dave. Nice detail in the bird . Framing looks good as well. Congratulations!

Snow and birds work well together. Good detail and composition, Dave. And, you got a nice pose.

He’s blue with the cold; at least that’s the impression I get. Cropping and exposure fine. I might play with the catchlight in its eye to make it more of a pinpoint. But it’s a fine winter shot.

Beautiful picture. I really like the pose with the nearly hidden patch of color on the forehead immediately drawing my eye.

This shot does say winter! The snow looks pretty good, but with the Z9, you can actually get a little more detail in the in focus snow areas by playing with the highlight slider. Overall exposure is good and the bird resides in the frame at the best spot. Well done…Jim
