| Goldfinch Catching Some Shadow |
Goldfinches are some of the most beautiful birds around. They used to be much more common in Israel, but in recent years we're seeing less and less of them, unfortunately. Every meeting with them is a joy, however! Like this one, that let me get close enough to be able to take a photo with good amount of detail as he was resting below a leaf.
What do I like about this photo? The overall composition, with a little bit of story to it. The color contrast between the Goldfinch and the background makes it stand out really nicely. I used an open aperture to create a shallow depth of field, so the Goldfinch is in focus and the background is blurred out, for even better separation. The amount of detail is very good. The background is interesting without taking focus from the Goldfinch.
What would I want to improve? Even more background blur would have been preferable, but that was not possible with my equipment.
