[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
While rummaging in my archives I came across this one taken almost 4 years ago during our visit to Australia.

Red-browed Finch (Neochmia temporalis)
This species has been shown several times on TN

A fairly common species of finch found along the SE and the whole of the East coast. They prefer wooded and shaded bushy areas near to water. They are almost exclusively seed eaters though insects are occasionally taken.

This was taken in the wild.
This one is a member of a flock that was regularly fed by the proprietors of the lodge where we stayed on the Atherton Tablelands in Queensland. This meant that I could get to within about 4 meters (13 ft) to take this shot.
The light was poor however.

After moderate cropping and size reduction the image was selectively sharpened.

Hello Ivan,
What a beauty. How could you miss this photo!?! Beautiful soft colours with an excellent sharp focus and very good details. Great POV, pose, DOF and composition.

Hi Ivan,
Nice to have an archive like that. It's a great shot, and I am glad you're showing it to us. That S2 camera produced a wonderful DOF and excellent details in the head. The colors look very nice although there is a slight hint of color noise.
TFS,

Hallo Ivan
Although you mention that the light was poor, you managed to capture this lovely Red-browed Finch in a great side view pose. Clear details of the paws, eyes and beak are beautifully displayed. Good focus and good sharpness. Image presented in a delightful manner. These birds are blessed with an arrangement of lovely colours in their plumage and your photography shows this well. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards

Hello Ivan,
Sorry to be very often a little bit late.. This finch might be common in Australia, for me it looks quite exotic and has wonderful and special colors. I also like the place where it is posed and the cute glance in its eyes. Lovely shot.
Une belle journée. Ici il fait grand beau.
Amitiés
Anne
