    Great pose, perch, BG, and detail!

    Might tone down the brightest part of the lichen just a tad.

    Pose may also work well as a vertical.

    Jack, great perch and good exposure control. I like the way you've cropped this one -- works well.

    Cheers,

    Beautiful perch!!! Great pose and wonderful BG. Crop works very well. I found the WB could use a bit more warmth so I added +12 points of red in "Color Balance" (excpet for the lichen) and darkened the brightest part of the lichen as per Mike's suggestion. Hope you like.

    Thanks everyone. Daniel I appreciate your effort, I think +12 was a little too much.

    Hi Jack, I like the colours on the goldfinch, and that perch is a gem covered in lichen. Great BG, and I like what Dan has done, except I would come in from the right a little.
