    Another one from the set up. Gimbal Head. ACR and PS. About 60% of the original.

    1/4000 or faster would have been better. I was on another perched bird at the time, when I noticed this squabble going on with the Greenfinches, and managed this one shot before they split.

    Hi Will, WOW what a frame, what's not to like here.

    Killer BKG and a very pleasing overall colour palette. I very much like that slightly 'mottled' backdrop, just hints of variable contrast, light, to break it up, imaging if it was just a plain colour, it look would look crap. A bit picky yes the HL's could be tamed, but hey.

    You should be chuffed with this.

    Beautiful image, Will

    Well seen and captured, love the interaction, colours, framing, it just works! Nicely processed too.

    Enjoyed viewing, a lot

    Pretty flipping awesome Will! I'm sure it was not a super easy frame to get and to have both well sharp and in plane is

    I like the work you did on the bkg to 'loosen' it up a little bit. The subjects really pop!

    If you wanted to touch in that little bit on the top of the right subject's wing, I think it's worth it in an otherwise absolute gem of a frame!
