Hi,
Had fun with a bunch of birds getting frisky with a nip in the air this morning. Photographed this cheeky goldfinch in the bright sunlight. . . . I sorta like him . . . Gus

I REALLY sorta like him too. The Bg colors are lovely and there is just the right amount of sharp bird and blurred wings, cool! Only nits and I'm nut sure f it is but the back of the birds head where the one wing merges looks a bit odd?
Its a nice image Gus and certainly not easy to capture something like this especially in flight. I agree with Norda that the wing/head interaction looks a little funky but still not a big deal. A head turn to the right would have given you better eye contact.
I definitely like the wing and tail blur and the sharp head and body. Just the right blend.
You might want to brighten up the image some as it appears a bit dark. The BG is great.
Robert, You're right on with your suggestion to lighten it, and as a bonus it now shows the back of the head from the wings. Appreciate your kindness and expertise . . Gus
