This looks really sharp, Tjie. The two tone background while nice, is a little unusual. Nice work.

Beautiful shot Tjie, lovely setting, gorgeous light on the Finch and sharp as a tack.

Like the background a lot -- overall colors are very pleasing

Nice pose and detail, Tjie. The gray patch in the bg is a bit unfortunate.

Excellent capture Tjie, it's a question of taste but I don't mind the grey band at all.

Really nice House Finch portrait. The two-tone background really compliments the main subject.

Wonderful perch and details on the bird. Not sure how I feel about the bg! Sharon

Very nice as posted. An excellent example of how a common species can make a fine image. I like the bi-colored background.

I find it hard to critique photos that have not in some way attracted my attention and I usually have a very quick initial thought about such photos. In this case my thought was PERFECT.

Agree with Charlie the 2 tone background takes away somewhat.
