this beauty i took in my and gerts (ellis49)
birdarea around gävle,gert went home and
10 minuts after that i took this:)
so this one is a tribute to gert and
with that hopefuly bring some goldfinchluck
to him next time!

some info:
It is 12-13 cm long with a wingspan of 21-25 cm and a weight of 14 to 19 grams. The sexes are alike, with a red face, black and white head, warm brown upperparts, white underparts with buff flanks and breast patches, and black and yellow wings. The ivory-coloured bill is long and pointed, and the tail is forked. Juveniles have a plain head and a greyer back but are unmistakable due to the yellow wing stripe. Birds in central Asia (caniceps group) have a plain grey head behind the red face, lacking the black and white head pattern of European and western Asian birds

Hi Mikael,
Wonderful shot of this beautiful Goldfinch and you have freezed a fine moment here. I like the motion-blur on the wings and the effect it creates. Great lighting, spot-on focus, superb BG and a fabulous pose. Gert definitely would love this. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hello Mickael,
Very good photo of this Goldfinch and Thistle. Perfect timing. The wing gives a beautiful colour-effect in the photo. Good sharpness and isolation from a fantastic BG. I also like the composition and POV.
Regards,
Peter

Hej Micke,
This is a very fine action shot of the Goldfinch displaying its beautiful wing. Its colours match the thistle beautifully! Excellent sharpness, fine soft background and a lovely composition.
TFS och ha en bra helg, Ulla

The wing stoppage is very well taken. I enjoy seeing this composition with the plant and blurred background.Seeing the yellow highlights on wings is great.

Tjena Micke,
Snygg bild på den här fågeln som jag själv aldrig får syn på!

Fint komponerat mot en behaglig bakgrund. Den verkar vinka till dig med vingen, kanske ber dig hälsa till Gert;-)

Great shot with nice quality!

Mvh Peter

Hi Mikael,
Artistic composition, lovely BG.
Very good exposure, color, and POV. Good details, and I like this pose also :)
Well done!

Hej Micke,
thanks for this great dedication. You was lucky once again,
to catch a nice bird when I had left.
You have captured a nice actiion with good details and sharpness. Fine lighting and lovely colours.
I like the DOF too, the bird standsout well from the BG.
Very well done, mf

Hur gick det med talgoxarna ? Jag har inte hunnit kollat på mina ännu.
Gert

hello mikael ,

quelle magnifique netteté et une attitude de l'oiseau impecable très jolie couleurs et une profondeur de champs parfaite bravo

hello mikael

excellent image, i like the way the bird and flowers
are framed on the image and also the details of this
and colors of the wing open and that blur that give motion impression
