Grabbed these Gold Finch at sunrise this morning, feasting in a field of wildflowers, It was pretty windy so these were moving targets

CC welcome and thanks for looking in.
Randy

























I kept wanting to throw this one away, but somthing about it kept bring me back to it, thoughts?

Very nice set. What a beautiful background for these.

I do like the last one, actually it is my favorite. The sharp eye draws you to it inspire of the stem on the body. I also love that red sunflower and the complimentary background colors. To me it all works i would be temped to clone out the purple flower on the top left.

Beautiful, Randy. If I can see, hear and photograph this little pretty bird every morning, I will be very happy.
Great work.

Brilliant exciting color really makes these. The combo of lovely light, vivid setting and eye catchlight elevate the set. Seeing the bird behind dingle in the last can work but it's tricky, in this instance the image is a bit busy for my taste. Beautiful work on a small subject.

Love the gold finch Randy The backgrounds are very colorful I think in #2 you just missed the focus .I agree with Phil on the last just to busy for me and that shadow on the bird is to distracting

Thank you for looking in and the kind words Tam, going out again this morning, hope the wind is down, it was blowing pretty good yesterday and they don't stay perched very long before they move to another branch. Fast little guys.

Thanks Michael, I look forward to this time of year at this spot, makes for some nice colorful back drops. Agree on #2, windy day so these little guys were moving targets

Our state bird is the eastern variety...they come in all colors here depending on their age and sex...but your gold goldfinch are just wonderful...nicely done with the windblown moving target.

4 for me Randy. Great use of natural framing and I love the fall colors in the background.
