House Finch

Had a little (very little!) time this evening to review my shots from this past weekend. I thought this House Finch was one of the prettier ones (as far as House Finches go) I've seen in a while and thought I'd share.

C&C appreciated too.

Great shot Dave, I often overlook these birds sometimes...but they're really pretty in a plain sorta way.

Thanks, I agree Sharon. Some birds are more striking than others, but they all are unique and pretty in their own way (I think).

Nice job.

Thank you Mike. And I see you're originally from SW PA. Seems we also share the same appreciation of and respect for nature. I know now what your tag line means. Best wishes

The red and feather detail are very good in this image Dave. Good comp as well. Nice job.

Thanks Joe. Appreciate the feedback. Hopefully the weather holds out for this weekend and I'll have some shots with a new technique.
