Hallo Nicholas
I just admire this photo. The details on the feathers are really stunning and it looks as if they were coloured painted by hand one by one. The layers of plumage are so precise and tidy. Well done on the close-up work and successful point of view, which ended up in a perfect result. Thanks for sharing this delightful image.
Kind regards

Hi Nick,

I still envy you your garden! If you were to look out of my window you would see all grey birds. This young Goldfinch is beautiful with his lovely face and beautiful wings and plumage. Once again you have captured an excellent expression on the bird's face. The background and the pose on the slightly diagonal branch are superb.

Hi Nick

I hope you're still doing ok and since i see you're still taking your great bird photos :)
A lovely young Goldfinches, captured with exemplary sharpness to present the smallest details of this little cute bird and its plumage and also with a spot-on exposure to retain all those colors from both the subject and the gorgeous BG.
I really like this shot and i congratulate you for it.

Bravo and TFS

Perfect!
