This American Goldfinch was captured on this day 2 years ago from a blind, how time flies. I have not had time to have any sessions with the small birds this year.

Very nice, subtle use of flash. And a very nice color palette. My only suggestion owuld be to touch up the eye where there are two bright spots.
