A wonderful capture Susan,
Such a natural pose as the
Goldfinch looks ready to take off
Again. The light on the body really highlights the birds feathers and shows good detail,
Sharp focus and clarity, the
Bird stands out clearly from the
Muted background, well framed
And presented. Truly lovely. Jo

So nice to view this beautiful goldfinch. Great details, striking colors and soft background to complement the bird. I don't get these over here. My finches are only gray. Thank you for sharing, Susan!

How this bird is balancing on the thin twig is stunning. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The Goldfinch is excellently placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Birds are so much fun to watch and it's incredible to see how well they can balance on the tiniest twig. This goldfinch is beautiful , I like it's placement within the frame, it is well focused, this image is clear, exposure is good, the colors and tones appear natural. Well defined feathers! Well composed and presented !

Comment from Alisons9


Your composition is really nice on this one. The light colors look good with the pop of red in the head. Your image is a little grainy, maybe because of too much zoom or sharpening. Great job!
