Very good shot of the male bullfinch. Very good colours, focus and bokeh.

You've been posting some very nice shots of our feathered friends, Richie.

I have noticed some noise/grain at the higher resolutions and have a tip for you (Photoshop.. but, this might be applicable to some other image editors).

"Smooth Gradients in Photoshop (Dithering)"

About half-way down the above linked page..

"Once the layer has been converted, you'll want to add either a Noise filter or a Spatter filter. For this gradient, the Spatter filter, which can be found under the Filter > Brush Strokes menu (or Filter Gallery), did a much better job at smoothing out the gradient."

And it looks like it would be very easy to make a selection of the bird and branch and small leaves.

That said..


Nice one.. again.

And..

But, of course.. thank you for sharing these with us.

+favs for me.

I honestly never realised there were so many beautifully coloured birds in the UK.
Splendid

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
