Goldfinch on a recent frosty morning, purposefull blur on the perch i wanted to focus on the head, i think he spotted me in the hide and i like the inquisitive look he has - a bit different!

Nice one Ben. A bit more depth of field would have been nice, but not a big issue!

Very nice shot Ben. Great pose, nice perch & bg too.
DOF does not bother here me as my eyes are drawn to the look on the birds face. :cool:

An excellent capture, but it does need more DOF.
