Beautiful Alan. Love the dual pine cones and the fact that he is on the pine cone.

How you got this to land on a pine cone is beyond me Alan. Did you pay the guy off? :)

What a cutie and great perch.

I think the pine needles on the left help balance the image. Outstanding, as usual, Alan.

Even when the goldfinches are in drab color you made them handsome.

I like the soft colours here, Alan and the pine cones put it over the top.
