Hello Ron,
A fine capture of this male Amercican Goldfinch undergoing moulting.
The POV is perfect and the use of flash has brightened him up a bit against a nice neutral BG.
Thanks and enjoy your Easter,

Hello Ron,

Hope you are doing fine and a very happy Easter to you, friend.Indeed a photo worth keeping and loving, this is indeed an excellent shot of this male American Gold Finch. I often used to think flash effects the image and makes it look a shade artificial but here on TN this misconception has been removed. In the flash light the yellow canary-like plumage of this finch looks great. Thanks a lot for sharing a super shot...happy Easter Sunday to you again.....take care, my friend....warmest regards/Abid

Hallo Ron
I don't think I could praise this photo enough. We have all seen 100's bird photos but this offers something unique. It is nicely composed, the soft neutral backdrop is great, the focus is wonderful and those colours are so eye-catching! All and all it is just a stunning image. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

Hello Ron, Absolutely beautiful photo of the American Goldfinch. Very clear sharpness no doubt yielded from your choice of a small aperture. I appreciate your notes as well. It is apparent from this fine photograph that your skill as a photographer shines through brilliantly.
Have a great day,

Bonjour Ron,
Don't mind that the American Goldfinch looks scruffy...it looks just great with this "artistic" plumage. Best sharpness and a perfect blurred background. Interesting personal note.
Thanks and kind regards
