Some lovely ones and some not so good ones, you'd probably get a better response if you just posted the best 1 or 2 which for me are 1 and 6. Number 4 for example suffers badly in comparison to the others as it seems a little out of focus and is nothing like as sharp, possibly focussed on the branch in the bottom right corner?

Much better I do really like that first one the colour is great and he has a cheeky look in his eye.

I'd say the colours are a bit too saturated for a chaffinch at this time of year.

Hmm. I was thinking that but did not like to say it. Good captures though.

thanks, I must get a photo editor soon :bonk: is this one better?

Humungous improvement with these two shots!

They are perhaps a tad over-saturated but my local ones are still showing great colour.

Lovely colour in these. I've noticed the Chaffies on Cannock Chase have this enriched colour and generally seem a stronger looking bird - probably because ther'e roaming over a larger area than your average garden visitor.

Try to avoid the awkward crops - you'll find it a lot easier if you want to frame any.

Love the detail in them Cason, very good!!

Agree with Cedric (CT) about the crops, very good advice

 

[cason]

thanks CT, lol me frame some up, I think that may be a while off.

these two were taken in whinlatter forest more of a deeper colour than at the caravan site im staying at, they seem very muted in colour towards the above. The light was spot on too late afternoon. It showed them off at their best.
