    wow a wonderful bird you have got here, the pose is wonderful and the colors look nice
    the red eye with the small catchlight is just perfect
    The surrounding look a bit bright IMO and may be a version with the surrounding a bit less bright may be interesting to see.

    I have seen this bird in India a few times as a caged bird and i dont think i could get these details as you have in open on the caged one.

    The colors of the finch go so nicely with the bg. Nice low shooting angle too

    Nice image, Greg. The bird's inquisitive pose is sweet. I would try taking a bit of the brightness out of the background as it competes a bit with the bird who deserves full attention.

    I much prefer to see this species like this in the wild than in a cage (my brother had one as a pet for along time...he often kept it free in the house, mind you, and it was ULTRA friendly). Nice colours, low angle, exposure.

    Hi Greg, love the pose, which in turn shows of the colours so well - and love the yellow cheek. Good low perspective, and the finch is nice and sharp.
