Hi Nick,

A beautiful little Chaffinch - nice to know she is healthy. Pose and lighting are excellent. Every feather stands out on her face and plummage. A lovely face and eye with a sweet young expression. Colors are wonderful and she stands out well from the background.

I'm not eggs-pert but this one looks a bit more full framed than most others..As if it is a total mug shot. Certainly clear and definable and the deep background of green gives it some pizazz!

Hi Nick, wonderful sharp clear and "clean" image of this bird. The whole bird is in good focus showing feather details as well as an excellent catch of the eye. The colouration to the feathers is also excellent, the background giving a good contrast for the overall image. very nice !!

Hello Nick,

What a lovely front shot of this female chaffinch! I got one in the garden earlier in the week but scrapped it as I just couldn't get the whole sharply focussed!
Your exposure is perfect and the details outstanding!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

You know, Nick, when you started to critique me, in my early days here, I developed this awe for you, just like have for others I 'class' you with, Howard, Ivan, Loot,Ram Sir(Ram Thakur),Annick and a lot many others!And that awe still remains, Sir!'Coz I still do not know aperture from focal length, I do what my eye likes, and it's friends like you who have taught me all I know!And shot like this one are truly inspiring!
Respect!
