How unique and like the black birds included in the whites of the digital image, seems to brighten up the white well. The whites are just so and so many different shades makes the work so much more interesting! Lovely creation and a great addition to the contest!

Strong initial impact with the stark black color of the birds contrasted against the softness of the clouds, snow and branches. I like the action also with the birds looking like they are being blown in the wind. Nice art:)

Nice photo. The shading is nice in the sky. The pov is nice the two birds trying to keep each other warm. The branches on the tree look nice like a birch tree. Nicely done.

Comment from Happy Snappy
I like the contrast here. The birds look almost like they could be a tattoo drawing and the snow scene looks soft and dreamy in lovely pastels. I wouldn't have thought it would work but it does!

I like the icy texture of this. These poor birds waited too long to fly south for the winter and now they're stuck in a storm with virtually no shelter. Looking at this gives me the shivers. In the distance is that shadowy shape an omen of death?, Or is it a savior bird approaching to show them the way to safety?

Very unique and creative.
Like the outline and defintion of the birds.
Gives the feeling of being very cold and snowy.
Great composition.

nicely rendered quite realistic white out with a comic couple of cartoonlike birds depicting the title well & creating good initial impact & depth to the well composed scene-good work!

Comment from Sange
I am loving this! I love the tree branch coming into the frame from the left and the lone one on the bottom. Background is perfect for a moody cold sky. The birds are what draw me in. Big surprise! LOL Great colors and details.
