American Goldfinch

Canon 1DX • 700 mm • 1/2500 • f/7.1 • ISO 640 • handheld • manual

We used to have a field that was full of wild mustard that was a big draw for songbirds,
unfortunately it's gone now, and being replaced by a housing track.
This is a American Goldfinch I came across with the mustard blooms in the BG.

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful background colors... Love the diagonal Perch.

Thanks for sharing..

Great capture getting the yellow on yellow like this Tim--a technically well executed image on a unique BG.

Simply stunning visually, Tim. That background is wonderful and similarity in colour to the bird really makes this. Only minor thing I'd revisit is composition: I'd be inclined to move the bird a touch down and to the right.

Thanks Glenn as per your suggestion...

Yes, that does it for me. Great!

Yup, a real beauty... bird and image. Love the repost, no nits from me. Thank you for posting, Tim.
