Robin on a Frosted Branch

A European robin balances on a frosted branch surrounded by red berry clusters and dark evergreen foliage. Its orange breast and face sit bright against soft grey wings, while a clear black eye and slim beak give the small bird a sharp center. Ice crystals trace the twigs, berry stems and needle tips, with small patches of snow tucked into the greenery.

Orange feathers offer the quickest starting point, followed by the eye, beak and pale belly. Berry clusters on both sides create separate red groups, and their frosty rims keep them from repeating too evenly. Crossing branches draw useful diagonals through the scene. Evergreen needles need closer sorting near the end, but frost edges and snow patches keep the darker background readable.
