Canon 7D Canon 500mm f4 L IS ISO 1250 -0.3 1/500 sec f4.5
Yet again weather and light has been absolutely rubbish but I decided I would have a go anyway.
Another garden shot but from a a different hide this time, as ever all C & C welcome.

Nice pose and sharp. Colours are a bit on the cool side.
Nice image Jonathan! I like the pose, open beak and perch. I would try an image with a smaller diameter mossy perch.

Great pose and tack sharp. Lichens are beautiful. Would warm the colors just a titch,

Hey Jon, nothing wrong with the results you achieved here, considering your conditions. Classic pose, open beak, sharp, and that lichen covered perch adds so much. I really like the colours on the little guy, and as Im not familiar with the greenfinch, would increasing the saturation on him work better? Your BG is also so complimentary to the finch. I realise with setups, having a good BG helps a lot - what is your BG? Cheers.
Thanks for the C&C everyone, I have had another look at the image it does look better warmed up a bit. Stu, saturation wouldn't work as I already had to desaturate the yellows, but increasing exposure a tad helped. I just didn't consider it in view of the dull conditions in which it was taken. The background is camo material, I have a few different patterns. I pin it against the fence or onto a large bird table (for mobility) depending upon where required.
