This one was taken last week while I was photographing a flock of Greenfinches. I think it's one of swedens most beautiful birds also one of the most common ones, which is very good if you want to photograph it. :D
Nice sharp eye, beautiful light and a great background! The perch is a bit distracting due to the size and condition. May want to take out the small piece hanging down below. TFS. Gary.
I agree about the nice pose, head angle and sharpness. I like the red coloration on the branch, and for me the perch adds to the overall effect of the image.
I agree with Richard about the colours of the perch, but I also agree with Gary about its size and condition. I also wish the bird would have stood up a little higher to separate the belly from the perch. Awesome little bird, probably full of energy like our chickadees:cool: Techs look good, and the BG, although a bit blotchy in some areas, has nice colours and "feel".
