Male American Goldfinch (Chardonneret jaune)and his umbra.

The new bird man, great detail and color.

Nice catch with the shadow.

Shadow on the tree is nice. The image is slightly underexposed....I'd like to see it a bit brighter.

Wonderful profile and reflection and the yellow shows off.

Thank you for your informtive comment. Yes the image is slightly underexposed and I have made a bit brighter with PS.

 

Very nice capture, Gaetan!

Actually my experience with yellows is that they blow our and looked washed very easily and I find it nessessary to underexpose slightly. Nice Job.

Yes Daniel, yellow of those birds blow out very easely. I take my shot of this bird with negative exposure compensation.

Thank you for your informative comment.

 

Very beautiful. Regards. Stanko

 

Very good again, the shadow balance the composition, only one detail, the beak crossing the trunk. Maybe 50cm on the right or on the left. But it's easy to critiqe when i am in a chair in front my computer screen. Very nice shot. ;-)
