Do like the Hawfinches photos of yours John, could be because I find their plumage works so well with the complimentary colours of this pool setting.

Great shot John - love the light on his head and body, but find that highlight on the very tip of his tail a bit distracting :toast: :toast:

I agree with you about the light, John, but I am still jealous of the image!

Thanks all .
Just been going through all the male hawfinch shots and that white tail end is blown in them all.
Its the whitest of white. Iam working on it with a bit of cloneing.
Cheers
