Love the soft light and the wonderful detail where it counts. Sweet portrait of this handsome bird May! A bird which is still way high on my want list.

These are fun little finches that I haven't seen now for many years. I like the pose and the understated natural colors in this.

Really nice May. The light was nice for this shot and I love the BG. Bird is nice and sharp with good detail where it is needed. I have never seen this species, but hope to some day. Well done.

wow, May, that's really nice. super details, great bg and comp--leaving the bird centered works really well because of the branches on the right. I like this a lot.

Great catch, May. I like the pose, and the exposure and detail looks good. I love the background...those out of focus lines really add to the image, IMO.

Nice detail and soft light and I like the roly poly look of this little bird. The BG with the way OOF twigs is very nice. Good job.

Way to cool, excellent shot all the way around, pose, perch, background and IQ, the larger image was a pleasure to view.
