Tripod head Canon 7D Canon 500mm f4 L IS ISO 250 - 0.3 1/1000 sec f7.1 I took this from my garden hide, sunflower seeds as bait, all comments welcome.

Another wonderful shot Jonathan.
Beautiful BG colors, perfect perch and IQ rocks. Pose and HA are textbook perfect.

Beautiful.
I think it would look nice with a looser crop, but the light and muted colors are terrific.

Hi Jon, Excellent sharp detail on the greenfinch, and what a perfect pose you managed to capture. I do like the light too, and your BG has turned out really well. I wish the lower parts of the foliage perch were not leaving the frame.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Thanks very much everyone for the comments much appreciated. I planted the pine tree in front of the hide in the long term hope I may get images of goldcrests which are a good bit smaller than the greenfinch. For these larger finches I think I may end up using the 100-400 zoom to improve on the composition with the foliage.
