Nicely composed with the clean background and curved perch. Excellent detail. A common bird, but colorful and a nice addition to the many little brown birds that frequent the feeders. Nice job.
Dennis, this is a great shot of the House Finch. Wonderful colors and details in the feathers. That smooth background really makes him pop. Hoping ours comes back this year. Saw them about a month ago maybe, and none since. Our Bluebirds didn’t come back this year either. Anyway, great shot.
