    Beautiful John ,nice and sharp good details. Love the branch and the color at the top of the frame softness blends right down to the finch. TFS

    Excellent view of this little finch. Pose, details, and perch all look great. I might globally lower the exposure a bit as the entire frame looks a bit bright to me.

    I would lower the exposure quite a bit as this looks too bright
    and washed out to me... Nice pose and I like the perch.

    I suspect you quite deliberately made this high key, it works well John.

    Very nice.
    Lovey little appropriately sized perch.
    Bird looks lovely and dainty.
    I would reduce exposure by 1/3 on the bird and perch. That would maintain the high key look but make the bird pop a bit more and restore the green colors to the lichens.
