    Default House Finch

    Image captured a few days ago at Glenhurst Meadows. We had walked deep into the preserve finding an abundance of Palm Warblers and several types of sparrows, and a lone Northern Waterthrush. When we stopped for lunch, near the parking lot, we soon discovered this was the spot we should have planted ourselves earlier. There was a hedge row nearby filled with activity. C&C welcome.

    Given the techs I might have expected a slightly more detailed image. Perhaps the bird's perch was shaking a bit...or you rig was not steady. Otherwise a nice bird , a nice setting and composition. I think reducing the size of the highlight in the eye by say 1/3rd will do much to improve the image.

    Lovely bird, love the perch and light. I would sharpen the eye a tad more.

    Just a tad more sharpening around the head for this one. The red shows up wonderfully against that background.

    Lovely composition Geoffrey and a killer BG. Sharpness looks acceptable on my monitor.
