It's a great capture of a little birdie. First of all, it's not easy to get a good shot with a snowy background. Photographically it's a bit overexposed, BUT it gives the feel of a sunny winter day. It's better as leave it with a darker background. The bird is sharp like a knife and good contrasted with the background. Many peoples would say to do a bit post processing, but i'm not this kind. I love way better if you do nothing. Just let it be like that. The only thing i would do an other crop of this image, set the bird to the right bottom, 2/3, 2/3 and a light frame.
Well, have a great day and keep up this great work!

You wanted me to give you my two cents on this capture. As I tell everyone; don't mind the stars, they aren't informative.
Photographically:
When it comes to bird photography or wildlife in general it requires a great amount of zoom. What I'm saying is that I would have prefered getting a closer framing of the bird. This is not always easy to accomplish, but I thought it would be important to mention.
Another tip would be the framing. The bird is sitting on a little branch, framing the bird to be somewhere in the right bottom corner would give you branches leading from somewhere to somewhere.
When it comes to the exposure, I like the fact that you've tried to keep the snow white instead of greyish, however it's a little overexposed in relation to what it should be. The result of this is that you loose alot of details in the snow which can't be fixed easily in post-processing.
Post-processing:
Three things would make this pop a little more:
Vignette - a slight dark vignette would frame the bird just fine as the image is very bright.
Contrast - this would also give you some more details in the branches and the bird, which would be nice.
Sharpening - Sharpening the bird and the branch it's sitting on would be beneficial for the overall impression.
All in all: keep trying, it's important as we can't read ourselves to become as good as we want to be.
I hope this was helpful. Have a nice weekend
