This afternoon coming home we past a very tall tree walked by it and heared a very nice tinkel bell sound. We looked up and noticed a few European Gold Finches high in top of that tree.. After a while we walked on to home and I had plans to go back with my camera.... While grabbing my gear my wife said to me "they are sitting in the backyard now..." Yes she was right , looked outside and I spotted one ... Again high - up in the tree ,I made a few images than the bird left .. I think this is not a high quality photo because the distance was to far and I had a hard time holding my camera and telelens still... But anyway this is my first shot of an European Gold Finch so I had to add it to my collection of birds and post it on to the site.... HOPE YOU LIKE IT..

Quite acceptable shot indeed.

I admire your ability to freehand shoot this, without the use of a tripod. You must have nerves of steel and very still hands because you can tell there was sone distance in shooting this gold Finch.

I like the composition too.
