Hi Nick.
As Jeroen says the colours and the setting is lovely and the bird is nice and sharp,might i suggest just a little more on the right of the bird if you have it.

Hi Nick, nice looking GF, with good detail and I like the setting, personally I might just desaturated the BKG, as I find it competing slightly with the subject, but again, just personal preference. :wink:

A lovely setting, the background colours complementing the finch perfectly. Nicely composed too. :wavey:

A great study in subtle colours. The flowering currant is a nice bonus. Excellent.

Lovely shot. Great detail and I like the natural perch very much. I agree with Stephen about desaturating the background a bit. :wavey:

Very minor nits covered, a superb capture of an under-rated species.
