Nice one Cameron. A bit tight top and right for me, but thats always a personal thing.

Nice one Cameron. Great background. I think it could take another round of sharpening. The owls were out this afternoon :wink:

Wow a 6' tall finch - Sorry but this is just way too big in the frame for me. The Americans like this style, but it needs more room all round to breathe.......

From the noise showing for ISO 200 I assume it is a big crop - Try a less severe crop to remove the cramped feel

Agree with suggestions for a more spacious crop and bit more USM but very nicely composed otherwise and a complementary background :smile:
