Just a great capture - love the clarity and detail - the color just pops and the initial impact is great - good luck in the contest

Nice clear image. Good eye shot and like how this is in a black background to keep the eye on the subject. Nice color also.

A very fine close up study of the bird.But you will have a tough competition as there appears to be one too many Goldfinch birds in this site!The focus, sharpness, coloirs have worked well here. Overall impressive.Good luck in he contest.

This is a great initial impact image of the Goldfinch. I like the glint in her eye.

Good composition, focus, detail and light. Good texture in the feathers. Well done. Good luck in the contest.
