Hello Jon,
A great capture in the wild of this bird that is popular as a cage bird. This close portrait of a Doulble-barred Finch is taken from a fine POV with excellent sharpness against a pleasing BG.
I've seen them in Queensland but not as close as to get a shot like this!
TFS this beauty,
Cheers,
Ivan

Hello Jon
What a delightful image to look at. This is such a pretty bird, the patterns and markings on the feathers are a great attraction. I just love the black lining alongside the white of the face and on the breast, as it makes the beauty of the bird stand out so much better and creates lovely effect. This is for sure a model bird and most pleasing to look at. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards
Anna

Hi Jon

Perfection.

Everything is brilliant here, I can confidently say this is the best shot of a Double-bar I've seen. And the colours are also pefectly reproduced; many shot overexpose teh face so that the pale blue feathers appear white. You've really nailed this one.

Excellent work.

Hi Jon,

An amazing close-up of this Double-barred Finch showing off the wonderful face and the beautifully intricate plummage and wings. The black markings around his face and breast are fascinating. Colors, shadings, textures and details are all outstanding. I love the pose, the background and the composition.

Witaj Jon,
naprawdę super zdjęcie!
Ostrość, DOF i barwy bardzo dobre. Kadr i POV też. Podoba mi się także jednolite tło będące dobrym kontrastem dla upierzenia ptaka.
Gratuluję i pozdrawiam

Hi Jon,
What an interesting specie that doesn't like any birds I know! You capture excellent details @ F5.6 with superb composition, exposure and colors. Australia is very exotic to me as you have species that we don't have here and who looks so different. Well seen and best regard,

Hello Jon !
Wow, this is such a beautiful bird, I had never seen this before ! I love the markings on his plumage, and I also like the bluish color of his beek and feet. Excellent details, nice natural colors, wonderful composition and POV, and a splendid blurred BG to make your bird stand out nicely. Very well done !

Hi Jon,

Appologise mate I've been missing a few postings of late, just never seem to be able to catch up with everyone. This is a super shot, I've only ever seen these in my garden once beautiful little birds, excellent detail with wonderful colours.

Perfect framing and POV, love the OOF background it really makes this little fellow stand out, all the best for the coming year,

Cheers and thanks for all the support Rick :)
