I toned down the yellows a fair amount on this male goldfinch as some of it was a little blownout. D800e, 300f4, 1.4tc, f7.1, 1/1000, ISO 400, tripod. All comments are greatly appreciated.

Hi Jim,
Nice and sharp and it looks like you got those pesky yellows controlled. The perch provides a nice diagonal that creates some instability or interest to the composition. ........................Jim

Looks considerably better as a large image. I find it real interesting that the compressed smaller image seems a little drab but the larger image really pops. I am looking at it on my iPas Air 2 which has the retina display.

Well done Jim! Great color palette, pose and the sharpness is right on too. Nice job with the processing.

Nice image of this goldfinch. Both the bird and perch are nicely composed, good detail with a complimentery background. Good head turn. Plumage is a little worn, but hard to find fresh ones this time of year.
