This little Redpoll was a visitor to Lochwinnoch RSPB Reserve over the weekend. Luckily it sat still long enough for this shot.

Thanks for looking,

Arron

Lovely shot, nice composition and a superbly smooth background which really helps the subject stand out

My one and only nit would be that it looks quite soft around the birds head area, which should be easy to fix.

Nice one Arron

Yup, totally agree with you. I re-sized to 720 before posting but forgot to sharpen after I had resized it

Just having one of those days!!

I have those days as well. Easily forgotten, and a shame because it is a great picture otherwise.

Excellent comp, if the sharpening works well then I love to see it again ! Otherwise I really quite like the shot, nice clean BG and good colours too.

Just needs a bit of sharpening, otherwise an excellent shot.

Nice shot.
I'm looking forward to the resharpened one.

Very nice Arron, like how the shape of the perch balances the shot up
