The female doesn't look very happy! I like how well their colors and markings show with this angle. Their little black heads are very cute.

    Grace,
    Thanks a million for your great review. The female was the first to the feeder & the last to leave it.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Amusing title.
Nicely timed stop action shot.

Verdant overtone!
Subtle illumination.
Compact framing showing good details, features and varied textures.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

A great storytelling reality photo of hard to photograph subjects with the subjects well placed in the composition. Thanks for sharing! Daphne Oberon

Nice capture Susan. These Bullfinches do indeed seem to be having a conversation. Hmmm, it looks like the female is having something to say as the male just continues to eat. That somehow rings a bell ; )
Nice positioning of these two in the frame Susan. Well done ~Steve

Good storytelling image, the two bullfinches having a nice chat as they enjoy a lunch of sunflower seeds.well captured to show this interaction, I like the way both birds are leaning back to see each other the far one has food in its beak! Well presented!

They do look a bit bedraggled but the raindrops on the feeder are attractive. Very nice colors and fine detail in the plumage. The birds could have posed more attractively.

    Mike,
    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this pair of greedy conversing Bullfinches, this was the best of six shots with both festing but without their heads stuck inside the feeder.

Comment from GaliaG


nice angle of shot and light handling, but the fact that I can only see the birds back takes from the initial impact

nice colors, tones and story telling

thanks for sharing

Quite a cute nature shot presented here! They look as if they are enjoying their nibbles and chat!! Your tight composition is very appropriate and provides enjoyable views of both birds and feed. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely taken!
