Hello Nicholas,
Today I'm surrounded by two heavyweights of TN.. So I'll come and say hello to your round Chaffinch, nicely perched on a branch observing the photographer. It must have been quite cold when you took your shot! Pleasing composition and framing.
I don't see much Chaffinchs around here either.
Have a nice Sunday
Kind regards
Anne

Hello Nick,

An excellent capture with beautiful coloration & fine details. Very nice POV, pose & BG.

One can tell that it must be winter/cold on that particular day with this Chaffin's feathers all puffed out for increased body insulation!

Very beautifully done...Nick & TFS.

Best wishes & regards

Hello Nick,
A really nice one of a male Chaffinch in fresh breeding plumage. Technically this excellent with superb colours and sharpness and the POV shows most of its features in a fine way. I like the composition too with the diagonal branch that it is perched on against a fine neutral BG.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hello Nick,
I can see that it's taken in winter, "bofinken" has fluffy up to keep warm.
Good sharpness with fine details and nice natural colours.
It's also well seen from the OOF BG.
Well done, mf.

Hi Nick,
Your focus is absolutely superb! From the sharp nails of the bird and the lichen on the branch to the details of the feathers, it is an excellent study of nature.

This is a beautiful Finch; in South Africa one always thinks of Finches as LBJs (little brown jobs).

Do they change the plumage in winter? I tried to google the question but was unsuccesfull...

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday
Kind Regards
Ingrid

Hi Nicholas,

Lovely closeup capture of an adorable bird with great details! The blurry green BG works well here, as it gives marvelous contrast to this multi-colored subject. The sharpness and POV are perfect. The DOF is simply wonderful.
Very well done!

Hi Nick

A lovely shot of this cute male chaffinch!
He look very nice and fat and you've captured him from a great angle that shows both its face, the lovely colors on the wings and sides and that big belly :))
Seriously now, the shot is very good, with impeccable details and a spot-on exposure.

Bravo and TFS

Very nice Nick, i'm sure your garden will be full with new arrivals soon though. Even though this was taken in February, this little Chaffinch looks well fed - no doubt by you! No sign of the 7D then yet...

Hi Nicholas!

It's a pleasure to discover your gallery again and to look at your birds. I like the simplicity of this composition and the pose of the bird very much. The picture reflects very well how you are perfectly proficient in taking that kind of picture!

Oh, and don't forget to hug your daughter from the Swissman...

:-)

Kind regards

Hello Nick,
The tones are really excellent! Very good light on the feathers. This chaffinch seems to be in good health... maybe with the good food you give it during winter time! Best regards,
Catherine
