Nice warm tones Alan. First Goldfinches of the winter in my garden this morning. Must get the props out
Nice and sharp stopped down a tad and pulled in to 440mm. Not a bad ol' lens really.

A classic image! The 150-500 is best around 440mm.

I'm not surprised this made the premier collection on the PPG, it is pure class in all respects
