A Female American Goldfinch on a mossy perch. The perch was placed near my water fountain in my back yard where they often come to drink and bathe.

Nice pose and details.

Lovely shot fine colours, I would try to brighten the bill and head a little bit, I appreciate it is partly shaded. Also brighten the eye a little bit I think this would give the image a little lift.
