    Super! I'm thinking you could probably use the dodge tool to even out the slightly harsh light on the bird and the cactus ... that could take this up a notch :)

    A very nice shot. As others have said, maybe just a tad "hot." thumb.gif

    It is a tad hot, but only on the background which causes
    it to be distracting. Tone it down a smidge and your good
    to go.

    You did well Jeff. clap.gif My only nit would be to gvve it a bit more space to frame right.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    A simple house finch on an interesting perch. Other than the first posting being a tad hot, the second one looks nicer as the hot areas look toned down. As Harry said, if you have some space to the right, its composition may look better.

    Nice shot of a House Finch on a cactus. If you had moved the cactus to the right a bit, the finch would have been perfectly posed. ne_nau.gif
