About the Image(s)

This image was taken with my Sony RX10M4. It was taken out of my kitchen window at 1/10,000, f4,ISO 2000, 500 mm. I didn't do much in post processing except to straighten and crop, eliminate a bright lens flare and reduce noise. I was amazed by this fellow's belligerent pose, either reminding us to fill the feeder, or to leave him alone.

Definitely brought an instant smile, well caught and sharp on the eye drawing the viewer in. Nice background and the light on the birds head adds to the image. Great image   Posted: 09/07/2023 04:08:05

Hi Ingrid - This little guy certainly appears to have something to say and his attitude is everything! If nothing else, it's created a compelling image. On closer inspection, could it be that he is holding something in his mouth? As mentioned by Tom, I also like that you've captured the eye and its gleam so clearly. As well, the texture in the upper half of the bird that softens as you look lower is nice, the image is sharp, colors are crisp, and there is clearly no distraction in that background . . . all keeps me looking at your finch and that pose. Nice shot out the kitchen window.   Posted: 09/11/2023 22:07:45
