I prefer to be in the bush with the animals than a crowded city.

Nice shot, Daniel, with some good feather detail, but, on my screen it is rather light, with not much contrast. That is only my opinion, of course, and other people might not agree...

Thank you very much for your feedback. You are probably right, given that the light was rather soft and I usually tend to set contrast in Ps a bit too low… I have just uploaded a second version you can check

I think it looks even better with that bit more contrast, Daniel. There is supposed to have been quite an influx of Hawfinches to the UK this winter, but I have yet to see one this year. I should make a special effort to track them down!
