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

)

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

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

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

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,

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