Bullfinch

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted December 21, 2010142 views17 comments

1D Mk iv, 600mm f4, 1/500s, f4, iso 200. Cropped to vertical and cloned out one branch.

One from this morning. They proved very reluctant to come out into the open, so I opted to clone out one branch to leave a simple composition. I'll be back for more though!

A great image Ian. Again a simple but well executed image, although this type of image is quite often difficult to achieve. The BG colour is perfect and very sympathetic to the main subject. great detail and spot on colour. The frosted branch just adds the icing.

Hi Ian,

A image that has stunning detail in the bird. The simplicity of this image really makes it for me.

The background is superb and the frosted branch is fantastic.

What I would give to have them come to my feeding stations

A great capture, the bird stands out really well against the BG

I like the frosty perch too.
Well done.
