Juvenile Red-browed Finch

[PhilCook]

Have been seeing a few of these around lately, must of been a good year for breeding Red-brows. Not as strikingly colorful as the adults, but still a nice clean looking little bird I think and i liked the earthy colors.

Canon 7D + 500 f4 + 1.4 x TC....700mm....f6.3, 1/1600, ISO 400, +0.3ev, no flash, minimal editing...slight selective sharpen and noise reduction to backdrop

Phil:
Simple and very very sweet image.
Love the pose,lights,sharpness,lovely three out-coming feathers and their shadow on the perch.
I am not sure about the perch,if it looking little bright. (may be effect of the new spectacles?? just brought).
Great Backdrop and composition too.

Regards,
Satish.

Very nice Phil, captured in a complimentary background.

Hi Phil, love the light, which in turn has brought out the finer detail very well, sharp too. Good angled pose with the wind swept plumage, and I do like your BG. If anything, I would maybe take a bit off the left.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the pose, details, BG and composition. I would tone the perch down a bit. Nice image Phil.

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful shot.
You handled what appears to be harsh light very well.
Excellent pose, very nice background, excellent details, and nice perch.
Agree on toninig down the perch a tad.
