I love the color palette of this image – lovely, happy yellows and greens. Very nice use of shallow depth of field to focus attention on the finch and flower. I might have cropped a bit off the bottom and used a radial filter in lightroom to darken the edges so further focus attention on the finch and flower. I wonder if using a brush to selectively add clarity and or texture to the body of the bird might make him ‘pop’ even more. Nice shot.

Thanks. I appreciate your suggestions. They will give me something else to try.
