I really like it, besides getting a 10 on the 'cute factor' I like the vintage photo feel to the it. What can you tell us about the setup / location of the shot?
Cute indeed!!, love the eye contact from the threesome. If you have done any sharpening, I would have eased it back a touch as there are some visible jaggies running along the top of the middle Finch's bill. Other than that very minor nit, it's a super shot, Merv.
This shot has oodles of potential.
I just love the image design and the cuteness factor.
I also like the color tone the image has.
I think you need to fix the cloning marks on the perch and repair the blown out feathers on the bellies. I don't think you can recover any detail in the blown whites , so I would clone in some feathers over the areas.
