Male Purple Finch

From the same morning as my last post.  The nice uniform gray bg is due to fog that grayed out the distant trees but wasn't thick enough to interfere seriously at the distance from me to the birds.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, f/9, 1/250, iso 640, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped from a horizontal to a 7.7 MP 4x5 vertical before resizing.  Taken at 6:09 AM on May 30th.

Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,
