Good clean shot Lea and the BG sets the yellows off well. Like the dappled light as well. :toast:

Smart looking birds!

Well exposed with nice detail and a lovely BG Lea :wavey:

Personally not too keen on the perch but that's more than made up for by the rest of the image - nice shot Lea :smile:

Agree with comments above, cracking pose which sort of highlights their nature for me :smile:

Hello Lea.

A cracking image of a Green Finch, and love the colour and sharpness.

Lovely! I think these are one of our more attractive birds - well done getting such a nice image of one.

I've been shooting some of these of late & I wish I could get the quality of this shot, simple, clean & sharp. Still my work is in it's early days !

Well done !

Very nice, sharp and well exposed and good DoF, but I'd be tempted to darken the harsh light bottom right (on the wood and foot).
