[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here's a photo of a chaffinch sitting on a gravestone. This photo was taken in Glendalough. There were a few birds around that day, but this one sat for a min. I love his colours.

A good POV here.
But, the focus is a bit soft.
I would rather increase the gap with bird's head and the top edge.
This is a good try anyway.

Belle prise de vue et belle pose de l'oiseau sur ce rocher.

Félicitations !

A very common bird in the UK, but you've done it justice wonderfully here!

A beautiful picture.
The focus is right on the head but the rest of the bird appear a bit soft. I uploaded the lowresolution picture into Photoshop CS2 and found that the wings and body of the bird can be easily sharpened using Smart Sharpen to Remove Lens Blur.
I tried a setting of 80% and Radius 1 pixel.
I think this picture would look great printed even in 13x19, after some additional work in Photoshop. Nice job.

Great shot
when I try to photograph little birds they fly off.. great capture
colour and focus look good
