I really like the pose,details and composition!

Great perch, pose, and DOF! I've not seen a greenfinch before. To my eye, the photo seems somewhat oversharpened, but that's my only nit. Well done.

Great perch, light and BG. It looks a bit oversharpened and I wish the blossoms on the left and right were not clipped.

This is really sweet Jeroen, love that perch and the pose is great!

Simply beautiful Jeroen. Great exposure & detail and the diagonal perch makes such a difference to any composition. The flowering pods on the perch are a bonus. Top shot!!

Really beautiful. Love the perch.
