American Goldfinch
(Carduelis tristis)

This one is fresh out of the oven. I saw this little guy flying around my neigbors house for the past couple of days. This is a first time I ever saw these pretty yellow birds up close.

Wow, that is a sharp picture, Paul.
Beautiful light and colors on this bird against the pretty clean BG.
The details are super sharp and I like the POV and composition.
He seems to be looking at you from the side of his eye. : )
TFS. : )

Hi Paul
Sorry, but I am late for a wedding and I just quickly wanted to deliver this well deserved smiley.
Elroyie with his pristine BG's is in danger to loose his #1 spot. This is stunning work.
Very well done and TFS.

A beautiful bird, I've never seen one of these before. Fantastic shot, perfect detail and exposure, DOF, colours. The background is excellent and looks like some nice soft light was around. Great work!
Cheers,
Adrian

Paul, this is really very nice.

Excellent colors, pov and composition. In a sense, this one has "Brazilian" colors. After all, green and yellow are the colors associated to the Brazilian football team, which will be playing soon in the World Cup.

Great sharpness and saturation. Lovely catchlight.

Congratulations.
