A Goldfinch at the feeder.

Used the canon ef 70-300mm IS USM lens. The more I use this lens the more I like it. Thanks Michel for that advice you gave me.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Hope you have had a good weekend.

That bird is going to be mad at you when it sees this picture. You didn't wait for it to get the crumbs off its head. LOL. Very beautiful bird, and you have captured it well. I love the blurred background, too. Excellent work, Sandi.

Another good one Tigz. Your title made me think of dreamcatchers. I can remember when the goldfinch were everywhere, but the bulldozing of habitats and the elimination of fence rows sent them elsewhere. Great shot.

Your clarity in this series is so unreal. Beautiful colors and depth. A real winner in my book.

Really cute capture of this Golden Finch Sandi.

Sorry I haven't been commenting lately, been very busy doing Skating Competition work and a lot more to do for the upcoming event in mid Feb. So don't worry if I don't comment, but I am viewing.

I really like the composition of this image Sandi. It makes me think of an old Japanese print in its simplicity. The colour, light, focus and DOF are very good here.

With one word: perfect. If that feels like overdoing it, then two words: very good!
Crisp, compo is dead on, great color, looks like autumn? Or winter even?
