Another great image Vince - although I can't make up my mind about the leaf in the left foreground - my eye keeps getting drawn from the perfectly exposed bird to the bright green blob! Still one I'd give my eye-teeth for!

Nice clear shot Vince.
I do agree with Dennis about the leaf though.

lovely rim lighting and an unusual goldfinch shot. Leaf is a bit dominant but still a great image.

Very nice Vince. Perhaps the leaf could be toned down a bit but not a major nit for me.
