So cute, lovely detail you have captured here, great focus, light and presentation. Great background again which enhances the main subject. Thank you for sharing, really like your work and it gives me inspiration.

Perfectly framed and well composed shot. Such beautiful lighting on this shot of the gorgeous House Finch puffed keeping warm. Very well photographed with good details. Your diffused background isolating your subject beautifully. Outstanding shot and thanks for sharing.

I love the expression you captured on this cute little bird's face! The light and colors are lovely. The beautifully soft background is perfect and matches the color of the bird.

Grace,
A beautiful picture of the Housefinch puffed up against the cols perched on a thin twig head turned to get a better look at you with the light twinkling in it's eye. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Or Short and stout?!! ;)
Ok, Puffed and Perched it is!
Love the colors on this bird and the sa-wa-eeeeet DOF allowing our attention to stay on him. Fine use of natural light showing him off nicely.

Great work Greenie ;)

Lovely little house finch, Grace. Looks like it is patiently waiting for the weather to get warmer. Very nice framing and composition. Great detail and color as well.

Cool,Grace!
( literally! : ) )
Your photographic presentation of this 'puffed up for cold weather' little bird is a lot of fun to look at,my friend!
It's got a sort of a 'Classic' look about it that makes it stand out like a really 'Good Show'!

The bird is very well positioned on the branch. A great "puffed up" look and a beautiful warm color palette. I like the profile and the nice detail in the plumage.

What a sweet little hird this is with a pert look in the eye with a touch of coyness. Very well captured. A nice smudged background brings forward your subject. Good detail on the bird nice use of light.

Yes, your handsome visitor does look a little cold sitting on his branch. Your full and central composition offers us a fine portrait to enjoy. Like the eye gleam and lack of DOF. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely taken!
