    Taken from my back garden hide. Having looked again at the image as posted I realise I have not posted the correct one! I am sure someone will notice the slightly "unfinished" appearance.

    Lovely clean shot of a bullfinch. IQ is top notch and colours very vibrant in the frame. I like the perch a lot too

    I would maybe crop a bit from the top if it were mine

    Hi Jon,

    Nice to have this glamorous bird in your garden! Very nice image and agree with some off the top. Some NR on the background would be good, but I guess that was the 'unfinished' element.

    Best wishes, Gerald

    Very nice perch and BG, Jon. No nits on the subject but the LL dark green corner pulls my eyes away from the bird. I am wondering if lifting up the curves on that corner makes any sense. What do you think?

    Very nice looking frame Jon. Lovely details on the bird and perch. All fits nicely with the BG. Great pose and HA.

    Great quality in this image Jonathan. The colours are lovely. Nice perch and clean BG help the image to stand out. Can't wait to see the 'correct' image!
