Framed

Was trying to get a decent photo of this house finch in its bright red colors, but just too many twigs in the way, then it moved just enough so I could frame it's head in the triangle of these twigs.

Interesting framing here. I like it. I would clone out the shadow between the twig and his head. I would also lighten it a bit. Well done.

Nice attempt at something a bit different. It looks dark to me. Also some cloning artifacts above and belove the upper branch I'm guessing.

Different, for sure. Nothing wrong with that. It is a little dark. I would brighten it up about 10% and remove the dark streak and blob from above and below the top twig.

John it's good to see someone trying something different, beautiful feather detail on this colourful little bird.

Great catch!
