Great capture K. I have a feeder for these golden finches and have about 8 at a time at the feeder but catching them in the fields on flowers that match is awesome. Very nice catch!!! #748816

Darren K. Fisher September 01, 2004

Ding Ding Ding ladies and gentelmen we have a winner!!!! This is stunning Kelly, the colors the lighting and your dof are perfect. I love it. Now this makes me wonder where it was taken, it made me think of my favorite place this time of year in Lawerence. Out next to the lake where they fly the little airplanes. It should be full of Sunflowers by now. #748967

Marcie A. Fowler September 01, 2004

Great job on your part K to see this little guy and capture him before he flew away. He matches the flowers so perfectly. This is an amzing image. Very well done, seen, and presented. And once again I agree with Darren!! #748991

Casey A. Hanson September 01, 2004

Nice shot K! #749031

Kelly Abernathy September 01, 2004

:) Thanks Darren and Marcie - you guys are too kind! And Darren, you're close. This was on the west side of the lake, near that bridge just before the turn off for the Bloomington boat ramps/rec area (the non-Corp side). Since we've been having so much rain this August, that whole area is flooded and the cranes and herons are hunting there. I was trying to catch them and some of the flowers and this guy flew up to see what I was doing. He stayed right around me wherever I went singing up a storm, lol. Thanks again -K #749034

Kelly Abernathy September 01, 2004

Thanks Casey - we crossed! -K #749039
