You may recall I put up a trap focus "frozen finch" image several months back. Same shape feeder used, but made of screen wire rather than what appears to be plastic. Thistle seeds pulled through the screen at a surprising rate. Have counted up to 10 finches on the feeder at the same time. Interesting "pose". Soft somewhat grainy texture..a matter of style.
