Zebra Finch

Caught the male and his bride together

That's a beautiful little bird. I've never seen them in the wild but are common caged birds.

I think you would do well to crop the male out, as the bride's not helping the image much. Well caught as I imagine they are as flighty as the finches we do get here!

Great shot, the male is so sharp and colours are beautiful.

Thanks Greg, taken at our local 'Botanical Gardens'...that's a man made lake, dirt bank and grass in the background.
I did keep one with just him as well...they were flighty but I enjoyed the walk chasing after them...

Thanks Glenda, I'm slowly getting better at that sharpening technique....

Very nice . Eye contact, eye level, nice light and lovely background/composition all come together

Square crop of just the male would work - but I like what you have done here with the inclusion of 'the bride'

Thanks Alan, they're cute little suckers and I was happy he stopped there for a second or two...
I agree about the crop...I've kept a copy of both in the 'Shoe Box' to look at down the track.

Cheers.
