Nice image and background Zoltan. I might be tempted to crop some from the bottom of the image and add a bit to the top to bring the bird's head eye in line with the upper third of the frame. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning goldfinch; ours are pretty boring by comparison. I like the pose, perch, and BG. I would definitely crop off the bottom because the bird looks a little small in the frame to me. On my monitor, brightness and contrast look pretty good as presented.
Welcome Zoltan. What a wonderful image. I like them both but prefer the tall skinny version! Wonderful BKGR, pose, and teasel (???) Keep them coming!

I really like this photo. The background and bird are great. The perch, Teasel(sounds right), and color on the breast and back of the bird are super. I do like the repost better, but thats a choice between two good photo's, so how can you lose.
Love the original post, more room all arround, that was the first thing I loved about this shot, the pose and the BG as the perch as well are outstanding!
