Hi Jane

How lovely to see this stunning little bird in its natural environment. The late afternoon sun assisted to provide excellent lighting for this shot and you made great use of the opportunity.

The composition and POV is lovely, the colours are stunning and very natural, the details are fine (although it would have been great if you could have pushed the aperture one more setting to increase the DOF just a tad more), the BG consisting of the green vegetation and the bits of blue peeking through enhances the orangey/red bird, and the exposure was spot-on.

Great work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hello Jane,
Good sharpness and details. Nice composition and POV. Colours are natural. Focus is very good.

A nice shot of this bird - possibly the red is over-saturated? We have them here in Maryland and they do not reach this deep golden color over such a large part of their body.

Hello Jane,
What a wonderful colorful house finches you do have overthere.
Beautiful color contrast between the reds of the feathers, greens of the leaf and blue sky.
Sharpness, composition, exposure and POV are all great.
Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes,
Harry
