Taken a few months back in my yard when dogwood leaves were new and the molt had just finished for this male. I reduced the Y saturation.

Ann, Nice shot, good colors, perch, HA and BG, I might conifer removing the small forehead dot, but besides that very nice.

Hi Tim, thanks, left it bc this is the end of molt and a lil yellow feather has not given way to a black head feather, left it on purpose, part of the story...

Very nice Ann. I love these crops.
Yellows and details within yellows are excellent.
Gotta love the yellow and the dark BG.
I also like how the goldfinch is leaning to the right mirroring the leaves.
I could see a version with the forehead dot removed but respect your reason why you left it in,

'They call me mellow yellow'...Fabby Ann. Best perch I have seen in a long time, and with the beautiful bird, all is looking real spot on.
