It's April 5. Why is it snowing? - Animal & Insect Photos

Not only is this remarkable because of the sharp detail, but also because the composition, with its massing on the left but curving into the open light of the right is just so fine. Amazing.

This is a shot for the National Geographic. Sharp details and great color. It's not like you can control it but I like how you caught the bird looking up towards the sky instead of somewhere else.
