It's Been a While

[Aidan Briggs]

I've been very busy with lots of work and studying and haven't been out shooting much. Here's one from last summer. I played around with the crop and this turned out to be the most pleasing.

I cleaned up the beak a tad but left some berry juice to show behavior.

Nice to see you posting again Aidan. Nice HA and I like how the lower twig gives balance to this image. BG is lovely and sharpness is spot on. Only thing I'd change is removing the leaf behind his leg maybe. Congrats

Well done!

Hi Adrian
This has beautiful leaves on the perch and I love the little offshooting branch below. Nice and sharp (the bird) and light / pose are super!

Nice looking finch. Very nice BG, eye contact, and the inquisitive look.

This is great Aidan. Love the pose perch BG.

Hi Aidan, wondered where you were. Good sharp detail and colours, and I like the smooth BG. Well captured.

Thanks everybody for the comments. I am hoping to get more active again on BPN.

Harshard, I prefer this version to one in landscape format.
