Francine

You are right what lovely colours that are perfectly sharp. These are shown up even better by your intriguiing BG, how did you get that effect ?

Hello Francine,
Lovely capture of this beautiful bird in its bright yellow and black plumage. Great focus on the eye and fine sharp details. I fully understand your urge to go outside - the long cold and dark winters are awful!
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Stunning colors and the soft background really brings him into focus. This is a beautiful shot. I have to hunt these guys down because they don't like the feed I keep in my feeder. Nice sharp colors, and I like the piece of seed about to slip from his beak.

Hi Francine

Lovely shot of the beautiful American Goldfinch, its amazing that these colours are just for breeding time.
Nicely composed with a good POv and I like the curious look you have captured on the birds face.
Good details and colours too, I'm adding him to my theme, Yellow Birds.

Hola Francine:

El pájarop es de una belleza extraordinaria con este amarillo que parece un plátano de Canarias. En España precisamente hay pájaro amarillo que le llamamos Canario, tiene un canto precioso, de concurso. NO se si se trata del mimo pájaro que este o es de otra especie.
La foto la has hecho preciosa en todos los sentidos.

Saludos.

Hello Francine,
The yellow of this American Goldfinch is superb, details are perfect but : Le "perchoir" où se situe l'oiseau n'est pas très naturel.

Hi Francine!

I can smell the spring atmosphere through your notes as if I would personally be outside. I still have to wait a couple of hours for that...

With these words I also want to say that your picture respires spring: the colours are joyful and the bird is changing its plumage, preparing itself for the changing season. Moreover, the very artistic background adds to the value of the picture.

Kind regards

Markus

Hi Francine
Beautiful cute bird. Sharpness is pretty good. Good OOF mosaic in background. I like also vivid yellow feathers.
