Mr. Goldfinch

The male goldfinch was keeping his eye on me as I took pictures of the birds at the bird feeder. This is for the week of various lighting for the flash of red (BW) challenge. My goal is to get that glint of light in the eyes of the birds, so they look more alive. This week, I learned that I need a sunlit day to be able to get that glint in the eyes of the birds. I will place the color version of this photo in my 365 2 album so you can compare the two versions.

There's one tiny little dot of sunshine in his eye. It's still a good shot.

Very sweet shot...will check out the color, but like it in b&w. I like the dof very much.

Works lovely in b&w, Daisy.
