They're back in the garden, those American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis, 13cm) are lovely birds. It's good to see them again.

Hello Mario,
This is a beautiful capture of a male American Goldfinch, technically first class and you caught him in a nice stretch pose and compose the shot well with a fine bokeh dark contrasting BG.
Well done and TFS!

Mario,

Excellent Composition. The BG, DOF, POV, Sharpness and lighting are all very good and show great detail of the subject.

TFS,

Very well done Mario, I like it..It does not get much better than this. But there's always room for improvement of course :)

Hi Mario,

A beautiful American Goldfinch. I have seen the Lesser here but not this one. I love the pose! Excellent colors, sharpness, background and frame.

Hi Mario,
This surely is a lovely bird and you did capture it greatly in a wonderful pose with the body and neck streched out fermly.
Technically perfect image with great composition, sharpness and lighting.
Deatails in the feathers, colors and green colored background, against wich the bird does stand out greatly, are beautiful.
I also like the piece of wood, with very lovely patterns and lines, the bird is standing on, very much and it adds to the image in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing,
Best wishes,
Harry

Mario,

Hi Mario, another beautiful presentation. The bird is perfectly posed for you on that block of wood. He's in perfect sharp focus with excellent colour and detail. You have nicely blurred the background while maintaining the interest on the bird and his stand. All of this wrapped up with a yellow ribbon. Very nicely done.

Well isn't he a perky little fellow? It's a nice capture with nice color against the lovely out of focus background. i like the simplicity of the composition and the wonderful feather detail.

A beautiful composition, Mario, filling the whole frame.
Perfect details and light and colors on the subject,

Lovely colors and texture in the BG.

Magnifique photo de ce petit chardonneret jaune. Composition, netteté et couleurs sont excellentes. Tu as su isoler ton sujet sur un arrière-plan qui rend bien les bien les couleurs de l'oiseau.
Merci et a bientôt...JP
