    This is a beauty Xavier, love it! For my taste, maybe a tad more room on the left and less room on the right, but that's personal taste. DOF is thin, but it is sharp where it needs to be. Well done!

    Crisp and dynamic, Xavier !! Great spot for this species (and others of course also). Wish for tail inclusion to bring this one over the moon.
    Best regards

    Great colour Finch, good eye contact, it is a pity the tail is either missing or off to the off side.
    well done.

    Thanks for the feedback to everybody. I have uploaded a different framing. In relation to the tail, the poor guy didn't have one... Cheers, Xavier
