Very nice work. As is colors are natural and realistic, as is sharpness. However just abit of PS to increase shadows and highlights just abit, along with neutral balancing colors (looks overly yellow) and a little USM would go along way.
Very nice nature capture.

Kenneth: Thanks for the kind words. We don't get many of these bright red characters for very long. They come through in the late spring, mostly, on their way to the high Rockies above 10,000'. I hope we have some again this year as they are lovely birds.

Steve: We see few of these. We get dozens of Pine Siskins, Crossbills, Cassin's Finches, Juncos, Pygmy Nuthatches, Black-Capped and Mountain Chickadees, no Redpolls. This winter there is a large group of American Goldfinches and fewer finches with us. I did change our feeder setup so the finches may be reacting to that. We just moved our son from Seward, AK to San Diego, CA in September. It was an 11 day, 3800 mile drive. He was at the SeaLife Center and is now at Birch Aquarium. He misses the snow as he was raised in Colorado and love the mountains. Love your work and I will be looking it over shortly.

Fred, pine grosbeaks, common redpolls, and pine siskins are our most common feeder birds here (we have two homes, one near Homer, the other in the Alaska range).

Fred, we have hundreds of pine grosbeaks at our feeders summer and winter. They become tame enough to eat seeds from our hands. The fledged young sit around the feeders begging the adults for food.

Hi Fred... yep, very beautiful bird here! Not much to critique though. The sharp focus on the bird and pleasantly blurred background makes it stand out quite well. Don't think it could get much better. Cheers, Gary
