That is a lovely composition Rene. Great background and perch and the bird has a nice catchlight. Can't fault it. :toast:

ditto, very nice indeed, the quality of light really gives this some oomph.

Very nice indeed, although I prefer them BIF, but purely a personal preference.

Nice Linnet Rene but to me it does seem a little "lost" in the frame. maybe a vertical crop ?
Just my personal view.
Cheers

Thanks John, I have them vertical and horizontal. I think they both work.

Great background, and that is exactly the way I see them sing, with the beak barely open.

Great image Rene but it does look a litle lost in the image, I think more perch would perhaps have helped or losing some from the top. Great light and BG and would have liked to have seen it large to appreciate the details.
