Cool...two goldfinches in a row :)

Looks like you had better lighting than I did....

Must be goldfinch season here in MA!

Jim:

Love the detailed perch, interesting without overpowering the bird. Good job exposing the yellows. There might be one or two slightly hot areas where some fine detail is missing, but it presents very well.
Excellent catchlight, I think I can see you in it. Nice angle in frame.

Cheers
