Congratulations Jon.
Hi Jon ... besides the colors , which are completely off ... at least for me .Wondering which WB preset you have used ... ?? A real stunning take off image of this lovely Goldfinch . All does work well .
Strong yellow cast .. masking some lovely coloration across the image . I am puzzled ... that you are again step into the old trap , at least this is my impression .

RP is a starting point on color front .... if you like it a touch warmer , do so .

Well captured Jon.....This is better than the previous Goldfinch take off IMO...Again, great detail on the bird with lovely colours...I think somewhere between the OP and the RP would be the way to go...Good work.

This might be the best of your liftoff bunch. Great detail, no shadows, and a perfect head angle make this a winner. I agree with Andreas about the color cast and think his repost addresses the issue nicely. Excellent work!

Thanks for the feedback, i agree in retrospect far too yellow. Repost a good deal better but a little cold, I suspect when I processed I got the WB then decided too cold and increased Temp and was influenced by numbers as opposed to appearance.
Should get my new office sorted out later today so no excuses from now on![]()
Hi Jon ... wondering what numbers have influenced you , to go really warm . I would always take three color samples .... high , mid and low and then decide.
AS the shot does look not being taken in warm sunlight ....
Cheers Andreas
I love the image as posted. Super-sharp on the face. But Andreas' repost is an improvement.
with love, artie

Very good timing on this one Jon! Love the feet, the angle and wing position! I agree it's too yellow. I also think the RP is a nice improvement.
