Very well done John, now I'll never be able to post a decent Finch picture. :): :): :):

The first two are great John. I always have a hard time exposing yellow birds and flowers. Yellow seems to blow out easily in the sun. Do you use any negative EC while shooting these little guys?

Outstanding!!!!!:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

My experience with goldfinches is they are very skittish - only watch them through the window at the feeder. They sure are pretty.

Oooooh! What nice colors. :thumb

All terrific, but I'd pick the first one with the light in the eye and the head turn.

Good ones John. I like the first two best because the eye is so clear. I may be off here but the flower seems to be sharper than the bird in the last shot.
