*****************************

The goldfinch is a strikingly beautiful bird, with a bright red face, black and white head and a deep golden yellow bar on the otherwise jet-black wings. Another notable feature is the long, pointed beak, which allows this species to extract seeds from teasels. Males and females are similar in appearance, although females have shorter beaks . Juveniles have greyish-brown streaked heads, lacking the red, white and black pattern of the adults. Flocks produce a delightful liquid twittering song and call.

Hi Bayram,

What a happy couple captured during their playful period. Nice shot in excellent exposure.

Regards,
Jusni

Good Morning Bayram,

I love goldfinches, too.
They visit my garden frequently but I have never seen them bathing, like this!
You have captured good details despite the obviously rapid movements of their bodies!
A delight to see!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Bayram MF,
Excellent action capture.I liked POV,colors,framing,reflections on water and composition a lot.
Best regards Siegfried

Bonsoir Bayram
Nice shot of nice birds in action and good focus; while the left one don't matter what you are doing , I suspect the other to be ready to fly away ; it seems anxious
Cheers

Olá Bayram

Interessante momento você registrou aqui.
Composição e cores muito bonitas assim como o efeito da água com direito a reflexo também.
Parabéns
