Fresh Goldfinch

Gallery: AvianPosted July 6, 2016114 views4 comments

While just a youngster, this newly fledged Goldfinch seems to have achieved great things and ascended to the peak of the pole. They seem to be early this year and our back yard is filled with them.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 562 mm, handheld, f/6.3, 1/1600, iso 640, aperture priority, pattern metering, + 2/3 EV. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 10 MP before resizing for the web. Taken July 3rd at 8:01 PM.

Comments and criticisms are most welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,

Looks like you had some nice light for this shot. Nice pose and perch.

Once again you have captured some terrific lighting. Very cute pose. Perhaps you'll be able to get some pictures of the parents feeding the chicks.

This has a nice cuteness factor to it Dennis. He's a bit fluffy!
