Unfortunately, had to catch this midair shot handheld through glass. This is one of our wintering goldfinches, who has almost finished his color transformation for summer.

Good colors and action here Lucy,
This image has a painted 'Art' feel to it, I am guessing shooting thru the glass caused this effect.
Great pose captured and perfect for this WC . . .

I like the little 'V' the wings form with this backside view Lucy.
Good work shooting through the glass handheld, nice look at this wintering Goldfinch's plumage as well

I like the pose you captured of this goldfinch in mid-flight. They are such beautiful birds to observe, especially when they are all decked out in their prime summer colors. I do wish the focus was sharper but that's hard to get handheld and through glass. However, it does give this image almost a painterly feel, as Mike mentioned also.

My glass is even harder to shoot through, as it is double paned! So, I am happy with a "painterly" effect.
