Very nice composition - I like the strong horizontals from the branches.

"....that I shot today at shoreline park,...." That poor finch!

I love how the branches frame out the bird, great colors and details. Well done.

Gaurav, I like the feel of this image a lot. The branches really work with this comp and the sharpness and colors in the bird along with the nice head turn and catchlight really make this work for me.

Wow Gaurav, the larger version of this is a must see, great detail & sharpness evident there.

Love the light, the bird's pose and the setting. Really a fine image as presented.
