Nice comp, Jim. The perch divides the image into two halves w/ the upper half being darker and the lower lighter. Also the bird in the upper somewhat divides that half into areas of light and dark - dark to the right, light to the left. Maybe I'm making too much of that, but I like that kind of stuff. Anyway, bird's sharp and well exposed. Looks like the colors are good as well, though it's been a while since I calibrated my monitor. And maybe it is my monitor but the dark area in the lower right ... is it breaking up?
Jim:
Your finch is very nice, well exposed, sharp where it has to be, I like the perch a lot, and its color keeps the attention on the bird, but there is enough detail there to reward a perusal.
Cheers

Very nice portrait. I like the thorny perch too, although I'm wondering if the thorns should be oriented the other way....
Background could benefit from some selective NR.....a little noise from iso1250...easily corrected.
Great perch and BG color.
The bird looks perfect, I think another round of NR on the Bg would look nice although
if you ran blur maybe there is not much you can do.

A lovely sharp image of this attractive finch Jim. It's portrayed very nicely against the dark, soft BG and the thorny perch provides additional interest.
Wonderful shot.
I really like the perch, great pose, and nice details.
Great dark background it really brings out the bird nicely.
Well done.
Simple and very very sweet image.Love pose of bird,details,diagonal perch and nice backdrop.

Nice looking finch. Exposed well and sharp. Like the rose perch and the comp is nice . Well balanced scene. Well done
Nice and sharp. Well composed, and I too like the dark BG. Too bad it is so noisy / blotchy though.
Hi Jim, diagonal perches through images always work well, and you have captured a gem of a pose. Sharp where it counts, and the finch pops nicely from the darker BG.
Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.
