Ahhh reds and yellows.....2 of my favorite colors Bret!
You captured and managed both extremely well, especially if these are "shady" captures. Your House Finches in particular have beautiful color this time of year. Absolutely gorgeous as always!

Thanks very much Jeff, I must admit, it is still a thrill just getting her out of the box and setting up.

Thanks very much Steve, they were pretty much in the shade and did not sit still very long, Thanks again.

Thank You Sandy but me thinks you are not giving yourself anywhere near the credit you deserve, your shots are very well detailed and clear, that clarity part really makes a difference, don't cut yourself short... EVER!
Thank You my friend!
