I suppose it is nice to see something "different" whatever that means on here but for some of us it's not that simple.
Here,s another hawfinch(male) to bore you.
D200
Sigma 100-300mm
800ISO
80th @f9
Paint Shop pro
Crop from horizontal.
Thanks for your comments on the last pic

Well this is pretty different John - can't remember the last time I clapped eyes on one
The only slight nit I'd have is that the sharpness you've applied across the entire image has "sharpened" the ripple edges that are behind the plane of focus. Working in Layers inside of Photoshop gives you the easy remedy to that little problem

Andy's minor nit aside, this is a cracking image and my favourite of the series so far.

One of the best hawfinches I have seen, and I have never seen one. Nits aside, brilliant.

Top quality. Still yet to spot one in the cold light of day.
