I like how you caught him in his element here, going about his day. The foliage provides the perfect contrast and sets off the beautiful detail you captured here.

Another beautiful composition Yves. The image is filled with vivid colour and a soft background. Mr. Finch is certainly a nice catch.

Nice shot, Yves. I love the different textures of the feathers and the leaves. And you got the catch light in the eye!!

Thanks Jane

Description
The purple finch couple was having fun all over the place. Seeing the nice black and white tag on the neck of the male I was excited to have found an exceptional one, may be a mutation. But it is not. It just happends that we are seeing the full body of a feather wich is black, white and pink at the edge. Backing the pink colour with black is a dam good idea to make it outstanding.
