One from earlie in the year, shot at the local gardens in town. Trying to come up with some different presentation techiques.

I had posted another version of this bird but just a slight different angle on his poise.

Thank you for commenting, and let me know what you think of these new ideas of mine. :)

Almost unbelievalble, Sandi: so many different and beautiful colors in this one. Believe that the goldfinch is aware of it because it's posing very proudly.
Excellent post.

Regards, Cornelius.

Your best yet! Perfect depth of field, great positioning in the composition, and the color palette can't be beat catching him sitting on those flowers!

Excellent capture, Sandi. The composition is beautiful and neat. Great bokeh in the background which a bit light just behind the bird and this takes attention to your beautiful subject. As always your backgrounds are great. And the bird taken really masterfully. With the backlit beak the pose is super in bright and cheerful colors. Very well done my friend.

I remember the other image & I love this one too. I can actually see this as a cover image on a bird book. Beautiful work, Sandi.
