Great focus and clarity, Jim. Maybe the nomenclature man was color blind.

I always wondered why they call it purple myself JimboB. A great capture with the blurred background. I like the framing as well. Nice to see you back posting a little more often.

You got me on the why of the name, but what a fantastic capture, good color, and wonderful detail, and I really like the frame.

The name is not important, only its beauty. And it's very beautiful. Nice capture.

A great capture of the colourful Finch, Jimbo. THe detaii and clarity is excellent. Sometimes I think whoever came up with these bird names was colour blind.

Beautiful capture of this purple finch, we had lots of those around last winter but not this winter. They should have called them the red finch

I have only seen one of these in my entire life. Such a beautiful little creature. =) If you have ever heard them sing, it would make you fall in love with them.

I agree - I don't see any purple, just red. You've photographed it beautifully JimBob.
