What a great shot of this colorful bird! The wind ruffling his feathers makes it very unusual to see. Looks like a long lost relative of our North American Cardinal. I like the delicate green shoot he's standing on as the support - it contrasts nicely with the colors of the bird itself. In this case, you would have had a hard time cloning out bits of the background, and I think its fine - shooting in nature you often have to take what you can get.

I think you have done well on this capture, Tim. Good color, details and composition. He appears a little furry with the wind ruffling his feathers like this. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Very nice portrait Tim.
Great colours, pose, compostion and details.
The black in the plumage is little underexposure but thats just a minor nit.
Great work.

I like the background, I think it accents the bird well. Such a interesting "action" shot, looks like he has "goosebumps" Well done.

Hi Tim
Here with us, they are already loosing most of their colours - well done, a nice, fat, fluffy finch, just the way I love them.
Try and rotate horizontally, and note the difference it makes to you image's impact.It is a subjective thing, try it. I would also crop just a wee bit on the top. Very nice, brongthem on.

Stunning picture of this incredibly colorful bird. Great details, exposure, and composition. I really like all his ruffled feathers, showing off all different shades of orange.
Beautiful contrast against the black. Great job, Tim. TFS.

Tim its a great photo of a difficult customer to capture correctly believe me I have tried.

The dark plumage is well managed. (it misjudged it on my crappy monitor at work, I wonder where they buy this crap... :) )

The rest is spot on. Rotate the photo horizontally to see if it makes a difference.

I dared a WS let me know what you think.

You are certainly getting the images now Tim, and it seems you are doing an excellent job!
This is a great pose and a striking capture of this curiously pretty bird!
I've seen many pretty birds in my life, but who would have ever thought without seeing it that one would be colored like this...
Thanks for sharing,
Dave

Hello Tim,
This is realy a beauty. Sharp, contrasting colours against the soft BG. Pose and composition are great. Most of all I like the details in the middlepart of the bird.
Regards,
Peter
