Hi Harry,
I like the pose of this grönfink.
The picture is well composed with good POV and beautiful colours.
The DOF is almost perfect, the whole bird in focus and the BG
in nice OOF.
Well done.

Hallo Harry,
Een pracht foto met heerlijke frisse zachte kleuren. De pose van vink is super en bijna een beetje trots. De scherpte in de veren is erg indrukwekkend, geen detail is verloren gegaan. Belichting is top met een mooie reflectie in de ogen.
Groeten,
Niek

A very professionally managed shot of a Greenfinch perching on a conifer branch, Mr Eggens.
The plumage of the bird has been captured very well in terms of colours and texture. Both the eyes of the bird are in sharp focus.
I like the way the BG echoes the green colour of the bird.
Well done and thanks for sharing the image.
Best regards.

Hello Harry,
The technical qualities of this shot of a male Greenfinch are superb and as you have captured him with an interesting pose and composed the shot with a fine complementary BBG, once again you have come up trumps with this shot!

Hi Harry.
Of highest quality and expressiveness shot you have shared. I like everything: nice scenery, amazing pose of the majestic bird and wonderful twig, fantastic BG and tremendous exactness of detail reproduction. Cropping of the image is precise and composition outstanding as well as the picture at whole. My congratulations and BRAVO.

Excellent details Harry, lovely pose here as well. If was to pick one thing that stands out most, it would be the BG colors that accent the bird so well.
Very well done!

Hello Harry,
So here we have an European Greenfinch :) Perfctly composed photo with very good DOF and wonderful colouration. Bravo for details, blurred BG and sharpness. It is a great pleasure to watch this image.
By the way, one technical question. You noted that 400ISO was used, but why do you prefer this and not eg. 200?
Best greetings,
Radomir

Your a professional in every way. This work is as I would say for all of your work. No better can be said...nor done...although perhaps there is no such thing as "better"...

Wow Harry, how did I miss this one. I think sometimes a reasonably drab bird does not look so good on the thumbnail, but when you open it up it is transformed. This is so nice, I can't see a single nit. Deserves to go into my favourites. Well done.

That attentive fellow gives you a great pose!
And you make the most of it, cpomposition is grea with superb reproduction of the plumage...
Good natural colours and a background to enhance the subject!
Inclusion of the evergreen works well with me...

Hallo Harry
You have such a range of excellent photos in your gallery; I found it difficult to choose which one I would award the smiley. They are ALL just wonderful and I'll have to return every now and again. You have captured this European Greenfinch in a wonderful close up pose. It looks like a mischievous little bird. The different colours of layered plumage are vivid and very bright and the details of the beak and big black eyes displayed well. I like the way it is pouting its beak. The framing and composition are lovely. A pleasant image with great natural colours and light. The colour of your background highlights the details of the bird well. Thank you very much for sharing. I enjoyed this one, as this is a lovely bird. Kind regards
