Quite gusty winds today - trying to shoot between the gusts. The little goldfinch was doing good to hold on. One of those days where garbage pails were blown all over the street.
You nailed so many of the elements of interest here, colour, texture, visual contrasts and composition.. look at these crosshatched feathers! Unimaginably not the first I saw today, but equally impressive.
So pretty with the light just so! I love your composition here...the sweet Goldfinch is tucked so perfectly between twigs. Wonderful clarity, too. FAV!
Wonderful capture of this bird, what type of tree/bush is the bird sitting on as the branch looks unusual to me anyhow ie not like bark one sees on trees in England.
Stunning capture,composition. Love the image.
