This is a female American Goldfinch. It was very bright sun and I knew the yellow would blow, so I did a little experimenting. I set the shutter speed on 500/sec. ISO 400 and started with f22. I watched my meter an I did this. Remember now the time I am doing this was in a hurry because this little bird did not care if I got the shot or not she was turning her head back and forth! When I first downloaded the files I started to delete them. I called one of them up and adjusted the contrast and it started to glow and this was what I ended up with. I had a lot of noise in the background so I matched the color and just used the spray paint in photoshop. I am using an Olympus E3 camera with a 70-300mm lens I think the setting for this was f16.
