Wonderful work love the tones of this one:-)

Thank you, glad you like it.

Wow, what a beautiful bird. The Goldfinches here are mostly yellow with some black on the wings. Cool bird. i love the composition.

The story goes that this little bird showed up lat when God was painting the birds feathers. So with the leftovers he created the goldfinch, it's one of the most colorful birds in our country.

Nature has so much to give us, glad I can share it.
