Comment from Shadow catcher
This guy looks as though he is lost,just seems to have a confused look on his face,perhaps like us, he doesn't enjoy the humidity. This is an excellent entry for the contest as his yellow plumage is definitely eye catching with the black cap and black wings.

I like the confident pose of the little bird. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The finch stands well out from the unobtrusive background. The Finch is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Comment from Artistsushma
It's such a captivating click of a yellow finch and you clicked it to perfection. The finch could be thirsty on this summer morning and you captured the bird in such a cute frame. I absolutely loved this- kudos

What a beautiful image soul. This is crisp, clean and very well focused. The bright yellow really stands out against the brown rock. Framed wonderfully and a really nice image to view. Nice work

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that beautiful yellow bird and its location. Like the feather detail. Colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Beautiful shot from a very nice close up position, so we can see perfectly the details of this special yellow bird, standing in the water - your picture is clear and sharp with perfect contrast, angle and framing - beautiful first impression, well seen, well reacted and well presented, thanks for sharing

A beautiful goldfinch. That setting is most unusual but makes a great background. A sharp image with beautiful colors. Best of luck in the contest.

You are so right, the setting is unusual, hence, the title. Anyway, they were on the shore drinking, maybe in preparation for the three digit August temps. It had been so hot! Thanks for the review.
