Hi Dave
I really like the framing with the “moon” over the Finch’s head. Nice work with the back lighting.

Great pose and backlighting, Dave - a little denoise needed perhaps? The bokeh balls are fine for my eye, adding interest to the comp.

Hi Dave, nice pose from this finch. A handsome male. The bokeh ball is fine with me in this instance. Bird seems a little soft to me.
