Love the color palette of this image Basri. The finch is super sharp with good detail in the whites. Wish I could see the whole bird but still a solid shot. I can't tell what he has in his beak, insect? Well done!

Awesome detail in this finch with a pleasing background. I that it is a little different than the usual bird on a stick. Just wish the foreground had a little more detail to it.

neat bird, great to catch it with prey. nice looking color and light in the eye too. the out of focus foreground is too bad.

Very nice image of this species and the food in the beak adds interest. I find the front left a little distracting, it looks like you had plenty of light you may have been able to stop down enough to get it in focus. :toast:
