I finally have a multitude of back-yard birds to practice on. :) Very high ISO--2500

1/800s f/8.0 at 600.0mm iso2500

Looks good Bonnie! Lots of male Purple Finches look ratty as the season moves on, but this is a very nice individual. The high ISO performance looks awesome :-)

Great details, soft light, perch and BG. I also like the slightly raised head. Looks very good for ISO 2500, because of the shutter speed you probably could have gotten away with a lower ISO.

Just perfect for me Bonnie !!! Love the saturated colors and sharpness. Great looking bird and fine pose. Awesome quality for the ISO !!!

Bonnie,
Great picture, The bird stands out nicely against the clean background. Did you use any NR?
