    Default Linnet feeding

    These birds usually feed over the "tajinaste", a typical canary flower.

    Great pose, BG, natural moment and dteail, I think fill flash would've helped this image, very nice though. Congratulations!

    Very nicely done. Love the flower and the BKGR. Wish only that the head was perfectly parallel to the imaging sensor.

    Jose:

    A very nice environmental shot, appreciate the story. Well exposed, nice composition.
    The head/eye could use just a bit more sharpening, and I might back the saturation back a bit. I find the yellow background areas a bit much, and perhaps burning them in a bit coupled with the lower sat. would help concentrate on the bird.

    In perfect world, the head a bit more towards us, but the activity is so well captured it doesn't bother me as is.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Randy
