Nice to see some color come back to the prairies

Cheers, Don

Nice photo once again. These photos would, however benefit greatly from bringing the ISO down dramatically. At 200mm, 1/200s is easily hand holdable. There's no real reason to have 1/1000s shutter speeds to require ISO800 and the consequent loss of quality and gain of grain. Just a thought.

Thanks Mark,

I was shooting hummingbirds when this goldfinch appeared

Cheers, Don

Ahh, I see. My mistake.

Not at all Mark, that's generally good advice.

I took my shot and by the time I adjusted my settings he was gone.

Cheers, Don

Very nice! Great detail.

Nice shot. He's a little to close to centre without being centred for my liking. Makes it feels unbalanced.

Thank you.

Thank you. I feel the twig nicely balances the negative and positive spaces and dictated the placement of the bird

Cheers, Don
