Bullfinch at Pool

[John Robinson]

Bullfinch male
My favourite pose- back on- head turn. Sometimes they oblige. Pool flooded out again so back to riding around in the car. Surprising how many folks you see doing the same thing.

A superb pose and a cracker for the pool. The eye looks sharp but the feathers around the chin and cheeks look a bit soft. The rest of the bird has some nice detail.

I like the look back pose, setting and composition wise I would take a little off the bottom but that is personal preference. Nice image John.
