greenfinch with seed

Greenfinch (Carduelis chloris)
I took this photo with a Pentax ME Super SLR camera using a 80-210 mm tamron zoom lens and a 2x converter.
Exposure 'automatic' (I think).
Photo taken in our garden in Hurst Green, Surrey, UK in early May (not sure of exact date but definitely May).
I have cropped the photo and used Adobe to brighten the image but I haven't changed the hue/saturation/sharpness or any of the cloning or editing tools.
(Greenfinches seem to be popular subjects for this competition--probably because they come to feeders so readily!)

Red-bellied woodpecker

My second entry is this red-bellied woodpecker at my feeder in the backyard in Prairieville, Louisiana. He seems so colorful and, for once, allowed me to take many pics of him.

Scope : Swaro ATS65.
