Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis)

The Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) in Italian Cardellino. The name

comes from (Carduus) the thistle plant, the seeds of which these birds

are greedy. The photos show in fact the goldfinch on a thistle plant

in search of seeds. Thanks for your comments

Hi, Giangiorgio, such a gorgeous capture, the crisp sharp, great DOF & bg. , beautiful colors, lovely pose & expression it's makes amazing result !     Best regards 

Congrats for this Series. Like specially this one for the position of the legs. Ciao Giangiorgio

Very nice image.

I like the position of his feet, flexible, adaptable, in order to feed your legs need to be reliable.

Good strong detail surround this portrait and your out of focus background almost pulls the bird off our computer screen as if he was 3 D - 

Superb!! Just superb...both images!

Tantissimi cari auguri,speriamo di rivederci nella tua splendida Isola.Nel 2017 continuerò a vedere le tue splendide immagini come questa.Un abbraccio.

Gorgeous image with a cute beautiful model!

Wonderful capture of this bird holding on in a most precarious position, Girangiorgio. Great looking colors, light and composition. Best regards, Paul.

Mille grazie Paul for your visit and kind comment
