The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
House Finches are very common and so make for good subjects on which to practice. You might notice this one has a stained lower beak thanks to feasting on the grape jelly I put out for the Orioles. I think the finches (including Goldfinches) and other birds eat as much of the jelly as the Orioles.
Specific Feedback
Does the oof branch need to go?
Technical Details
Does anyone know why the lens type isn’t displayed in the EXIF data?

Hi Terry. Nice shot of the House Finch. I like the perch and the pose of the finch.
I’m not sure why the lens isn’t showing up, but in LR you can choose what shows up. I think I choose the default listing and it includes the lens. The stuff that shows is on a pop up menu just to the left of the big Metadata label on the right side of the screen:
Hi Terry, Nice image with good sharpness and color on the bird. I like the BG too. Nice placement of the subject in the frame and i like the curvy perch. Yes I think the image would be better without the out of focus branch. Nice catch.
Excellent color and perfect level of saturation for the red plumage. These guys can be pretty gaudy. Another vote for removing the out of focus branch. Nice shot!
@Dennis_Plank@Allen_Sparks@David_Schoen thanks for your comments and critique. I don’t use LR, Dennis but I thought PhotoShop Elements might have something similar. Unfortunately, I didn’t see anything that would let me choose. But thanks.
So this is what the other side of a house finch looks like. Pose is fine and you could try to remove the OOF branch if so desired. Lighting is nice and I like the bokeh in the BG…Jim
