An excellent BOABIAP, John, although I much prefer those sticklebacks. :-) ;-)

I really like this one John, nice to see a Goldie in a different setting for me.

Up to your usual high standard and just shows that there is no need to spend thousands and thousands on exotic lenses :toast:

Very tidy indeed. What is the footprint type pattern in the bottom of the pool?

Great image JR, careful selection of aperture has rendered the BG OOF leaving the goldfinch beautifully sharp.

Well John, I don't know if it's my eyes (as nobody else has mentioned it) but is it a tad soft on the beak?

Thanks
Robert -
Just looked back at the original and its doesn't look too bad. Maybe a bit of beak flick/ movement as it looks sharp behind and in front.

Another good quality image John.

A bit central possibly?

Cheers

Hello John.

The setting and soft light make this a balanced image and very nice to look at.
