But be honest with me!
Would it be a keeper if you had taken it?

I love Bullfinches but it wouldn't be a keeper for me. But in saying that I keep very few so that's meaningless. Maybe you could try and get rid of some noise and contrast/sharpen it up a bit?

Not a lot I can do with this image Condyk as the Sigma was on full zoom and the sun was from the rear. Its the reflection on the leaves that pea me off the most!

This image would look so much better with a noise reduction program applied to it. "Neat Image" is a free demo to download and works wonders...give it a try and see the difference!

I'd probably keep it, but just for myself, especially if I didn't have any better shots of this bird. It's a beautiful bird, and sometimes you just can't get a clear shot at them. This guy picked terrible colors to blend with. :)

If you have PS and want to fix the noise without using another program, try despeckling this one
and then maybe Edit->Fade-ing to about 75%. Then sharpen it a little to put the edge back on it.

I'd keep it, I'd get rid of the noise (or try to) and keep it.

This image isn't all that bad as posted as far as noise goes here, I think posting it a little smaller would also make what noise there is less noticable too. Neat image is a great program and as mentioned there is a free demo for trial, worth the download at least to try out, what bothers me more then the noise is that one of the bird's feet are cut off here.
