Wonderful composition, I like perch, the look, background and feather detail, the larger image looks great with all the green, excellent shot, way to go.

Beautiful shot! Comp, perch, pose, bokeh—all top drawer. My only teeny nit is the closeness of the BG color to that of the bird.

Excellent portrait. The detail really shows well in the large version. I also like the foot up and resting on the cone. Well done.

Wow! That's as good a greenfinch shot as I've ever seen - I hadn't previously appreciated the subtle feather colours - very nicely done indeed.

Awesome shot of a beautiful bird, Phil. I love that perch and the background colors really compliment the bird well. Spectacular detail in the Greenfinch. Great job.

Absolutely stunning! The subject, the detail, the sharpness, the colours, the perch, the pose, the background, the composition; it's altogether almost too perfect, if such a thing were possible ;^)

Seriously Phil, thanks for sharing such inspirational work :^)

Great catchlight in his eye! I like how his colours kind of match the background colours, and the moss on the tree branch looks really cool. I love the pose and the composition!
