Thanks, Jack. When I took that shot, I was still getting used to the
camera. I'd had it less than a month and was still trying to get a feel
for exposure compensation and using it a lot. It was taken at 6:42 am
on May 27 -- which would have put the sun just coming over the back of
the house and hitting the lower branches of the tree at that moment.
Looking at the EXIF, it shows I had the compensation at +0.7. That
would certainly explain the blooming, I'd say. ;-)

A good catch, Walter. I find I have to slightly under expose the bright yellow ones as
their feathers "bloom" and lose their fine detail. The finches themselves being
so small are all but impossible to meter off of.

Just to follow up on my previous
one...
Here's the one I caught perched in the tree:

I shot this one with my 200mm kit lens at 800 ISO, 1/180 at
f/7.1 in
portrait mode. (I obviously didn't check before
taking the shot.)
