Got this little fellow on a walk in the bush yesterday.

Perfect - even wide open you caught the full profile in focus.

Thanks, but this was severely cropped from a much larger shot, so the DOF works in my favour here. Not so good for enlargement though.

He is a pretty thing. Good shot. We don't get those here so it was a pleasure to see one.

Looks very aerodynamic!

Great capture, really got the focus right

Great background choice, really helps separate the bird from it's surroundings.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll have to re-visit this spot. There are a few little red and blue finchey things I want to get shots of.

nice one sam-joseph, a " Spotted Pardalote " an interesting little bird, it's a bit tricky to get close to these, you've done well

Somebody told me yesterday this is not a finch. Sure looks like one.
