We had some decent filtered light the other evening, so I set up a camp chair in the back yard and waited on the birds. About all had were American Goldfinches and Pine Siskins, but it was still an enjoyable evening. I think this is my favorite pose from the session. For those not familiar with it, this is a juvenile American Goldfinch.

Very nice, Dennis. Great detail and nice, soft BG. I love the color of this bird.

Dennis, I really like that bright spot in the BG, it gives the variation to the BG and complement the inquisitive look of the bird.

Pose and BG are wonderful. I believe that the lawn chair will be an essential feature of your equipment. Works for me…Jim
