Bullfinch
Lacking a bit of image quality - especially around the head,- but I liked the way the bird stood out from the dark background. Not planned- just turned out that way.

Neat image.
Thanks for comments and interest on my last image.

Hi John: I like this image. Nice angle, and pose from the bird. I like the complimentary color palette with the bird and the background. Nicely captured.

Beautiful capture. The dark background makes this guy jump out. Well done.

These are gorgeous little birds and the bg works so well with him, I might crop just a touch from the left.

what a lovely bird, John. Very nice image, very sharp.
I liked the BG with the leaves on the water.

Nice capture of a gorgeous bird, John. The leaves in the background really compliment the bird well.

Looks super nice to me also, great pose and excellent details. I like the leaves in the water.

A very pleasing composition.

Image quality looks fine for web presentation at least, John. I like the head turn and pose. that chunky body sure gives a "bullish" impression.

As written earlier, a favorite of mine, but hard to find. I like this shot as well, especially the overall colors in the image, and the leaves matching the Bullfinch's plumage ! Well done John ! Hans
