He must be tough. Those thistles have nasty little thorns. Apparently he finds those seeds tasty. He looks fluffed-up to regulate his body temperature. The photo is focused and has good depth. The shallow background emphasizes the bird well. I appreciate the realism of color and light. The composition is balanced. The close framing is adequate.

    Thank you! The goldfinches really seem to like the thistle. That is usually where I find them.

Such a beautiful little bird, I love it's vivid yellow color! Like the black triangle on his face, well focused, nice clear image, well managed exposure, beautiful colors and tones, appear natural, love the way the thistle plant is framing him. This would be a very pretty photo to add to a calendar with images of birds! It would also be a beautiful greeting card , it's so cheerful! Well composed and presented!

What a pretty little yellow and black bird. I love thistles and this image with the yellow bird perched in the middle of them is very appealing. I like your plain background.

That's 'Way Cool',my friend!
It's a pleasantly interesting picture and it's an enjoyably colorful one too!
Another 'Good Show' in other words! : D

Golden Puff! Killin' me Greenie!
;)
He is so fluffed and puffed framed out by the Thistle.
Pretty contrasting colors with a fine focus and fab DOF.
Nice work Diamond Girl ;)

Very nice head on shot with a profile of the body. Between the angle and his dark crest the eyes have a very strange feel to them. Very natural shot. Good focus and details. Good color. Nice background. Well seen.
