Happy New Year Susan!
The goldfinch is a bit soft in focus,but is standing out beautifully from the background and it is well placed within the frame. I like its pose lookiing off to its right.
Well composed, nicely presented with your added frame.

Pat,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this Goldfinch taken though the Patio door during a rain storm with rain running down the glass of the Patio door.

Great shot here of this Goldfinch Susan. Composition, colour and exposure are very good. Good focus, texture and clarity with good background bokeh. Well done and happy new year:-)

A little fuzzy, but I ll take it, lovely colors on this bird. Love the framing on this photo, love the position of the bird in this photo, but the bottom part of him is out of focus.

Lise,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this Goldfinch taken though the Patio Door with raindrops running down the glass making sharp focus impossible.
