    I like the image, Jon. Dynamic post, lovely colors, nice background. The Bullfinch is a beautiful bird. Thank you for sharing.

    You've been doing well with your in-flight "feeder" birds. Cool incoming pose here, I love the feet just about ready to grip the nearby perch.

    You did well to get the focus point on the head, but the feet really steal the show! Almost like talons on a hawk!

    Separation from background looks good with enough blur, but the sky/foliage spilt is a bit distracting.

    The near/left wing looks good, but the right/far is too OOF for me. But ****, it's a songbird in flight so we gotta be happy with whatever you give us!
