Very nice and clean shot of an eastern Goldfinch. Nice background helps to make it stand out. Spot on color. Clear focus with great detail. Nice catch light in the eye. I love the black cap. Must have been breakfast time.
Well done. Good luck in the contest.

This is a wonderful shot of this Goldfinch and a great entry for the contest! It's cool that he has a seed in his mouth. The sharpness and detail are excellent. The light and color are superb.

I really like these birds and the sharp detail you captured of the feathers looks great and shows off the texture really well. The composition is also very attractive.

Wow! The goldfinch is a beautiful bird! I love that bright yellow ! He is well photographed withsharp focus, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones are natural . I see clear detail in every part of this bird, I like his pose on the twig and he's got a seed in his beak. Good clear eye! Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!

A beautiful picture of the American Goldfinch in it's summer plumage with a Sunflower seed in it's beak, against the olive green background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus.
