Suggestions already mentioned. I like the fact it is photographed on its preferred giver of nesting material. Just for the record, this is an American GOLDfinch (a little more valuable!!).
Pretty little finch Larry - not one we get here down-under! The thistles work well in the composition but I find the white area behind the bird very distracting. When photographing a bird with black head and eye I use a fill flash to give a catchlight, otherwise you generally end up with an apparent empty eye socket.
