Axell A nice looking bird, but I think the star of this image is the composition.

Totally nailed the wonderful colors of the goldfinch with this pose! I love the mood these thistles (?) give with the green/brown background.

Awesome. Perfect light and composition. The thistles (not sure what exactly they are called) are fantastic.

Love the prickly setting- I always wonder how it feels to the bird! Beautiful male looking back at you!

Great pose and I like the habitat inclusion. Small in the frame but you retained excellent feather details.
