Looks nicely sharp/detailed Stu!!

The face seems unusually orange, although i don't know if that is a normal transition to the usual red

The only slight drawback for me is the pruned twig, but i'm being a bit picky

Nice one

Alan

They are lovely subject to photograph. And Alan's rumbling (to which I agree) aside, it's a great photo

Cheers,

Nice comp Stu

I think your color balance is right but it's a bit contrasty and perhaps a bit over saturated on my monitor.
Twig end nit covered.

Hi Stuart,

Think my main nits have been covered (contrast and perch). Other than that well composed shot of these glorious little finches.

Regards

Rob

I have had a tweek of the contrast but it makes no real differance to the pic,think it was just very contrasty light????
