I am a bird person. They are my favorite subject . This is really unique. You captured the eyes, which is hard with these birds. To get this shot on a sunflower is awesome!

This is a lovely scene with much but just enough yellows in it. The goldfinch, though merged somewhat into the shadows, is lovely. It and its perch are so well merged into that nice background also. What a pose that you captured; best wishes in the contest!

Hi Willie.. An excellent take on this Carduelis tristis. The lateral light of the golden hour makes this piece a standout.

This excellently framed, bright and colorful composition gives us an remarkable view of this lovely Gold Finch.

Exposure and sharpness are spot on.

Wish I had a six for ya. Well done!... Bob

Hi Willie, This guy really stands out on that black background! Love the brilliant yellow! I like the way the shadows blend into the background. I think it makes the image even more interesting. The image is bold and has great lighting and focus! I think it's a wonderful entry for the "yellow contest!" Good Luck! :o) Nancy

This is a very appealing photo, a double whammy yellow. A very nice catch indeed.
The composition is lovely especially because the goldfinch is set so prettily upon the sunflower. The colors are wonderful, you can almost feel their warmth.
The image is very sharp and the background color is perfect.
This goldfinch looks like he has hit the food jackpot.
Good luck in the contest!

The beautiful, bright yellow goldfinch against the dark background is a delight for the eyes. Perched atop a Sunflower is perfect too! I love both, sunflowers and goldfinches m, so this put a big smile on my face!
You clearly have talent and a nice location for a great photo op!
Thanks for sharing!

This is a great photo of a beautiful subject. I know how difficult it can be to capture a small bird and the expensive equipment necessary. I also highly value an uncluttered background. The colors on bird and flower complement each other nicely. Great work!
