    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.

    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.
