Wishing everyone at BPN the happiest of holidays.

Nice berries and sharp bird but with the tiny, centered subject this one does not get me excited.

with love, artie

Nice how the berries frame the bird. Too bad the bird could be to the right some more looking to the left.

Nice habitat shot but agree, too small. maybe a vertical crop would work?

I like the red and green color palette! Perfect for the holidays!
The framing of the bird by the berries and branches is very nice but agree that the bird should be moved to the left and more room on the right. I would love to see arepost if you do have more canvas on the right.
DOF is very good and I like the spider webbing above the finch.
I wish you and Joanne a very Happy New Year filled with photographic adventures!

Thank you all. Unfortunately I don't have any room to the right. I had originally considered a vertical crop something like this, but I liked the way the berries framed the bird, which is lost in this comp.
