Female House Finch

Gallery: AvianPosted January 5, 2017187 views7 comments

A little change-up from the more colorful males, but the ladies are nice as well. I liked the setting for this one.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600mm, Jobu gimbal mounted to blind window, f/11, 1/1000, iso 1000, aperture priority, pattern metering, -2/3 EV. We had a sunny, but cold day yesterday, so there was no need of fill flash. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 14.7 MP before resizing. Taken at 10:22 AM yesterday.

Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Great setting! Yes, the females of all species deserve more recognition! laugh

Lovely fir and excellent BG, as well as a tack-sharp bird with fine feather detail.
Any chance for a tighter crop? If possible, cutting out some of the unnecessary left side might be good.
But great as is - Really nice image!

This is an excellent image of a female house Finch. I like the pose and the perch. The colors seem to blend in really well especially with the background.

A fabulous photo of the female finch. The perch is an excellent setting. The distant, blurred background works really well here.

This is really quite attractive. The pose and composition are nice and the detail in the bird and branch excellent against a nice background. I could tell from the thumbnail this was yours. devil
