Shot on Saturday at my feed station.

Had some nice light to shoot with and I was really pleased with the background - hard to believe, but in reality it's an old railway wagon surrounded by a mass of corrugated sheeting!

You seem to be a master of perfection, a very tidy collection you have.

A different angle to a common bird.
I like how it shows off the different feathers.

Very nice.

I often prefer this kind of pose to the standard. Beautiful & well composed. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Andy,

Lovely portrait of this colourful Finch. It maybe my early morning blurred vision but the eye does'nt look 100% sharp

Very nice image but slightly tight for me. Prefer a bit more room on the right, but that's me, rather than a nit.

A tad big in the frame but still a very nice shot!

Hi David - yep I know I get a bit too close at times - thats why I keep toying with the idea of a Sigmonster then I'd have all the compositional options

Thanks for viewing

Best Regards
