Wow! A virtual 6er for color, clarity, charm & overall composition.

Dynamic diagonal framing.
Sharply focused fine features & fluffy plumage textures.
Contrasting visually soothing verdant backdrop.

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

I love this for many reasons. It has spectacular initial impact, is visually stunning and the bold colors keep the viewer engaged. The nice sharp focus shows lots of details quite well, like the bird's claws/talons. You have placed the focal point well and given it additional interest by being able to capture the bird perching on an angled branch which leads the viewer's eye in and up from right to left. Superb.

Comment from Life is but a dream.


Another upload that I love from you. Simple and strong following the KISS principle and you know I'm a sucker for KISS.

The diagonal sweep adds dynamism, the colour palette is sensational but minimal and complimentary. The exposure is perfect and that is hard to do with yellow ...I learned from my photo club that yellow is one of the hardest colours to photograph.

AND best of all the eye catch is present.

Grace, what a beauty!

Or should I say, how handsome being a male :)

Nicely done with exquisite colors and a nicely blurred background.

Great clarity and perfect diagonal approach.

Comment from El-mundo


A great shot with brilliant lighting and POV here, capturing this colourful and (very vocal at points!) Yellow Finch, with wonderful clarity too showing the detail on the breast, wings and face, and the unique subtlety that bright and lively birds like these have that blend yellow, green, orange and grey/black together effortlessly in their colourings. You have caught this very nicely and with good DOF that accentuates the presence of this fella even more with the duller green background - wonderful photo and well done. :)

A beautiful picture of this Yellow Finch with it's golden breast, red mask & green back & wings perched above you while looking down at you with it's beady black eye. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan.

What an absolutely wonderful capture. You of course have grandly mastered the exposure with fabulous lighting and wonderfully natural color. Vivid and engaging! Detail is perfection - the feathery perfection offered to us from the entire bird! Fantastic. :-)) Thanks for sharing!
