Another one of these gorgeous birds taken near my home (no mush! :wink: )

To much space at the top?

Canon 50D + 500mm f4 IS
ISO 200
1/320
f7.1
Cropped from landscape.

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

Nice capture, lighting a little strange, no shadows, otherwise an excellent piece of work.

Super detailed portrait shot

Must have been a great experience to get this close to these stunning finches

Ditto the above for me, a lovely shot of a bird I've never seen. Why Dave Courtenay wants a metallic beak is a bit of a mystery though !!

Beautiful shot I too wish it were one of mine :toast:


The only shots of Hawfinch I get they are skulking in the backs of trees :frown:

Super shot, space at the top is fine as it balances the size of the finch in the frame nicely for me :smile:

Lewis, It's so so, I think you could do better. No mate seriously it's yet another brill shot, you really are becoming King of the Hawfinch in these parts aren't you.

Well done my friend, :toast:

Excellent shot. The eye is spot on and so is the background.
