Greenfinch

I placed some camouflage netting over a trellis or sometimes I erecta hide (blind) in the back garden. Approximately 3m distant I placed perches next to feeding stations.

Hi Jon,
I really like the composition,eye contact and bg,I would prefer a bit more sharpening for my taste
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Manos, I have had a couple of tries but I think the light is the main problem, I think the plumage is reflecting the light a little too much. I agree though it does look better with a little more sharpening.

Nice work Jon. Very much like the position of subject in frame.
