Nice DOF, ncie colours too. As a personal preference I would have liked the background to be darker to bring out the colours more and complement the reds more too. As it is, the brown looks a bit murky and doesn't help things.

Also, the sharpest bit in the image isn;t the berries it's that little leaf where the twigs converge which draws my eye to it.

It's a good image, just nto a great one.

Neat, It's a coldfinch! The little spot of color makes this a sweet shot. I see something here that I see once in a while in my shots when I try to pull up the lowest light levels, and that is the pepper sprinkle look on the subject. It's still nice for this subject. It's sort of like grain in images in the film era.

Nicely capture...I would have preferred a little wider DoF. Good Luck. 6.

Great shot! The Goldfinch is our state bird. I have yet to get one, they fly really fast and in groups (looks like swarms of big bees).

Nice colors and DOF. I would like to see a bit tighter crop and all the berries in focus.
