Authentic wildlife photograph, 4:3 landscape. A single wild European goldfinch clings to the edge of a drooping, spent sunflower seed head in a garden border, head angled down, bill working a seed free, red face mask and yellow wing bar clearly visible, accurate feather detail. Shot from slightly above at a respectful distance with a 400mm telephoto, shallow depth of field, background a soft blur of muted green foliage and brown stems. Soft diffuse overcast daylight, natural colours, believable exposure, subtle sensor grain. Bird placed on the left third, calm open space to the right. Quiet observational documentary feel. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
