Excellent pose, great detail, and lovely earth tones in the perch and background. Without question, you nailed this Goldfinch, Tom!

Is THAT ever sharp !! I love the perch as well, and wish I had one just like it to put near a bird feeder.

Thanks for the comments Ron and Warren.

Warren...The perch is a skeleton of a decaying Cholla cactus which are fairly common here in the Sonoran Desert. But, if you Google "cholla skeletons" you'll find that you can actually order them online. They do indeed make for great perches.

Tom in A., Terrific details and the head angle is perfect. Curious what equipment you used?

Hi Gene...

I used the Canon 80D with the Canon 100-400 VII zoom.

Thanks for the comments.

Ron pretty much covered it; that’s a beauty!
