    Default Peachy Lesser Goldfinch

    Looking forward to Bosque around the corner. I have been spending time looking through my files and getting a game plan... I enjoy doing that before i return to anyplace i have been before; learning from my mistakes and honing my field craft. This little finch was happily eating small seeds on top of this dried flower head. BG was peachy keen for me!

    pulled up curve, cleaned up bill, SH NR, and added some warmth. Happy Thanksgiving friends...

    Very nice. Like how the goldfinch is balancing perfectly on that seed head. Very peachy background indeed. Nice detail on the bird.

    Great perch, pose, peachy BG and composition. Everything works together nicely to create a beautiful image. Well done Ann.

    Close to perfect as noted above. Pointing the lens down would have improved the image design by placing the bird higher in the frame and putting the stem either closer to or in the corner of the frame. Perch and BKGR superb.

    Excellent shot very good details in all tones, the perch couldn't have been much better either!

    I love it as per all the above, and thank you Artie for pointing out my thoughts exactly. I love the bit of pulled fluff still on the flower.

    This is fantastic, Ann! Love the fluffy perch, background, and color. Razor sharp too, bravo!
