Hello Mario,
the colour combination in this picture works out really well. Compliments for this great setting. First I thought the position was a little centered but with the bird looking away to the left I think it's just fine.
Regards, Jacob

Hello Mario
Very good capture,shap image with nice colors.Good POV with good DOF

Mario, I have the greatest admiration for you! I try to take shots hand held and it is not easy! This is a beautiful shot! Great pov, lovely colours and sharpness. Do these birds sit on the forsythia for camourflage or do they find some food here?
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Super colours, imo a touch soft in focus, but thats a very minor not, super post

I love it when both birds and butterflies are photographed on plants of the same color as they. This is quite lovely. I think the composition would be a little less static if some were cropped off the right side, and perhaps a bit off the top too. For me the size of the subject in proportion to the whole is something I look for. The colors and OOF background are wonderful.

Hello Mario! An exquisite capture of the goldfinch, and perched so prettily on the forsythia! Any birder's handbook would be lucky to have a shot like this. Great work! TFS! Linda
