An immaculate capture of this beautiful bird hugging its perch, Michel.
Amazing focus, clarity and colors.
The neutral green BG makes the subject stand out extremely well.

Hi Michel

Lovely pose with excellent isolation and focus. I really like the BG here as it really helps bring out the detail in the rest of the picture.

Hi Michel,
very good image of this Goldfinch. the verticle composition worked verywell, both the yellow bird and brown cattail complementing earhother. Great contrast and suitable BG. Is the Goldfinch collecting nest material from this cattail which they use for soft lining in the nest.TFS.

Yes it is indeed a nice Goldfinch. I see them from time to time but they are outnumbered by sparrows and house finches...I wish to get one some day on image and have it look as this. Very nice colour qualities...Tres Bon!

Hi again

I couldn't just browse through your gallery without congratulating you on this one as well :)
What a splendid shot!
The natural conditions here - with the goldfinch on this stem - are terrific and the perfectly uniform BG you managed to get behind is also outstanding!
Again pin sharp details and wonderful natural colors characterize this exemplar close-up.

Bravo and TFS
