Another American Goldfinch - This One from Way Back In 1896...

[Daniel Cadieux]

Obviously not that old, lol, but the natural "sepia" tones I got here are reminiscent of old photography of yore. A small flock of these guys were feeding on seeds in a field of dried goldenrod, with this one fiddling with a leaf for some reason.

Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/800s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, almost FF (small crop top and right).

A work of art, Daniel. Beautiful warm Fall tones, and excellent pose captured. Love the leaf in the beak, and soft Goldenrod in the background.

Love the perch, the OOF branches in BG and of course the pose. Framing, as usual, sooo spot on... TFS

Sweet. Love the sepia tones, and especially the curve of the leaf in his beak.

Very pretty, I would take some off the bottom up to the brighter tighter leaf curls.
