    This American Goldfinch was feasting on thistle seeds, which went flying in the breeze.

    Nice concept. I like the basic COMP. I might take a bit more of the bottom. Might also get rid of the merge between the one seed head and the bird's bill.

    I like the setting and head angle. It would be even better if they bird were a bit less obstructed by the flowers in the foreground. Maybe a bit more room at the top.

    Nice composition and soft mood. I think the focus hit the vegetation rather than the bird, but it isn't awfully out of focus. I think this would be a good candidate for and Orton Treatment.
