A better perch is all that's missing...nice capture though Karen.

Great colours on the bird, not a species I see very often now.

Lovely shot of the bird Karen, but I find the bg a little sombre. A brighter one would make it pop even more. :toast:

Nice shot Karen :smile:


Karen I am afraid you are losing something in the resizing as this shot looks a lot better on TP :wink:

Hello Karen.

Lovely shot of the Bullfinch in some nice light and a good background.

Lovely image of a cracking bird Karen. As AA says, different perch would have been nice but it doesn't detract from the over all quality of the shot.

Cheers,
Chris
