The direct eye contact from this beauty is nice. I also really like how you caught him with part of the flower in his beak. Too cute! The colors are nice and you captured lovely detail of the wing markings and those tiny claws.

Perfectly framed and well composed shot. Superb eye clarity.....and I like how he's looking into your lens and that wonderful expression on his face that you were able to capture. Beautiful natural light and your sharp focus revealing excellent details in the feathers and marking of this gorgeous Goldfinch. Nice how the Goldfinch has landed and is sitting on the sunflower. Your diffused background soft yet bright compliments your photography beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

A beautiful photograph of this goldfinch with excellent
clarity and perfect pose.
I love the flower in the background immediately behind its head. It makes me think its wearing a pretty hat. The colors are great and the slight bokeh is gorgeous in the background.
Very nice capture!

Very enjoyable photo of this female goldfinch,good vertical framing with the bird in good focus. Excellent lighting,colors look natural,like how she has a bit of something in her mouth.Flower adds a nice spot of bright color,and the out of focus background of greens and purples off set her plumage nicely. Very enjoyable to view!

Barbara,
A beautiful picture of this American Goldfinch in the middle of moulting it's summer plumage for the less golden winter plumage with the ripening seed of a Pot Marigold in it's beak. Beautiful sunlit composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

This is a wonderful shot of the goldfunch! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!
