Hi Folks:

Pickin's slim today, probably will be better tomorrow when the Lesser Goldfinches settle down after hanging out a Thistle Seed bag.

Hi Uncle Gus,
I like the capture with the blurred wings...I would prefer an even blue sky instead of the brown oof to the back of your bird...you have sharp details and good colors...:cool:

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Uncle Gus, you have excellent details on your bird and love the blurred wings. What Gus mentioned does not bother me all that much, I think is just part of the habitat.

[Lance Peters]

Hi Gus - Sharp and well composed - I like - Brown in the BG doesnt bother me either :)

[Dave Leroy]

Hi Gus, very nice photo. It outa be a big seller. Nice details. Hard to please everybody and the only little nit I have is the bit of dark area in bg at tip of beak. I hadn't noticed the brown areas. Good one, Dave

[Nonda Surratt]

Very nice Gus, you do so well with these guys! Don't mind the brown at all in fact, pers-pref, like a bit of color to break up all blue sky.
