House Finches

Another attempt to create a more painterly image (i.e. I liked the colors and setting and the birds were a bit soft and noisy, so noise reduction and slight decrease in clarity).

What technical feedback would you like if any? Any

Very nice, Allen. The two birds are placed well with respect to one another and I like the eye contact from both. Your treatment seems to work well.

I like the way you have composed this image, Allen. The opposite poses of the two finches and clean background help this image a lot. The front oof branch is very distracting, though not sure what you could have done about it.
