    Female Purple Finch

    These birds were all over the place by the marshes. This was the first female I seen though.

    Yeah, the males are more noticeable.

    Very sharp image!

    Crisp focus indeed, and nice catchlight in the eye!

    However, I find a bit unflattering the way in which the bird's neck is positioned.

    I know it sometimes can be very hard to obtain an absolutely perfect shot, and you may have to take what's available. You did do a good job on holding the sharpness.:thumbsup:

    I think you posted the wrong image, because that's a female house sparrow.
