American Goldfinch

Taken a couple of nights ago in the back yard. The perch is part of an old stump that we use to disguise the waterfall inlet to our pond-it get's a lot of use as a perch.

1Div, 500mm f4 ISL + 1.4TC, Black Widow on RRS legs, f7.1, 1/640, iso 400, Av mode with -1/3 stop compensation. Processed in CS6 and cropped to 5.1MP. I cloned out one obtrusive grass blade and darkened the center of an overly bright Fleabane. Taken July 8th at 8:22 pm.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks for looking,
