European Goldfinch, male

[Melvin Grey]

Having been amazed at your American Goldfinches, I thought I would share this image of a British Goldfinch taken several years ago in the age of the Canon 10D.

Canon 10D, with 100-400 IS lens used at 400mm, photograph taken from a garden hide.
Exp 1/90th @ f8, ISO 200

I like the soft light, details, BG and setting. Maybe a slightly wider crop?

[Daniel Cadieux]

I like everything about this except I wish you had pointed the camera a little lower. Beautiful colours!

[Mark Schmitt]

Very nice shot: good details, splendid light. The BG looks like it could use a little noise reduction. Great shot!

Beautiful capture of this handsome bird! If they come to this perch frequently I would remove the teasel heads below the main one to isolate just the one head of teasel for a perch. Gorgeous bird!
