What wonderful coloring on this Goldfinch. Nice sharp image showing very nice feather detail. Well framed and I like the proportions of the bird and the perch.

Thanks bothThe perch worres me a bit as its growing above the pool and is completely natura.l Its about 4 years old and the trouble is all the species I have done on it are looking a bit boring as its on the same old perch every time. I feel loathe to change it as its actually growing !! We know each other well !!

Hang on to the perch John. The bird stands on it very comfortably. Love the composition and the pose.

Excellent image. Very nicely composed. Beautiful bird with beautiful colors, great details, nice pose and lights.
Would remove the tiny green tip of the perch on the LRC.
