Photographers Comment
Thank you so much for selecting my photo! My name is Jessica Kirste and I am a 36 year old photographer from New Jersey, USA. After a visit to the zoo I noticed the many coneflowers in the landscaping when I was getting ready to leave. Being somewhat hidden by the flowers I noticed this goldfinch on the flower that hung off to the side. A few quick shots till he realized I was there and then he was gone! Sometimes you just get lucky! This was shot using a Canon 7D with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. I process my photos using Adobe Camera Raw and Nik Viveza. Thanks again and congrats to all the other photos who won marks of excellence! I consider bird competitions to be one of the toughest so this is a honor.
