Nice image Geoff.
Good feather detail and eye catch light. Like the background tones, which compliment the bird well.

Lovely clear shot. I don't see greenfinches in my garden any more. The chaffinches seem to have taken their place.

A smart young greenfinch, such fine detail and the berry or seed being eaten is the icing on the cake.

Just saying to Ron, that one called in this morning, but didn't hang about.

One minor point, but it would have been easy to remove that dark patch to the right of the birdSmile

Just had a look at Maiwand's adult greenfinch - well, what a difference! Think this one still has to eat a lot of seeds to get the body shape of the adult one!
Super capture, nice detail and paterns in the plumage.

I like the detail of the bird Geoff - can't fault that.

I don't like the parallel banding running close to the back of the bird, and I don't like the circular banding in the top RH corner.
A very messy bg.Sad

I awarded this for the detail in the bird, the angle, the exposure, the fact the feet, twig and bird are all sharp. The background didn't bother me enough to prevent me giving it a HC but was mainly reason it didn't get an EC. I think the fact it's brown eludes to the fact it's a tree branch or darker woodland area. The banding could be reduced by adding a touch of noise.
