A rather common species, but one that I really like, particularly in nice fresh plumage.

Surprised no one has commented on this. Really quite a nice image of the finch. The detail looks great, I like the head turn and perch, and the clean background lets the finch pop. As usual, excellent job on noise reduction (i.e. I don’t see any and at ISO 2500!) and good work with the flash. Not sure how this could have turned out any better.
Allen is right, Dennis, I don’t see how this could turn out any better! Wonder image, great details and a wonderfully smooth background. I hope you have some wall space left to hang this beautiful image!
