The Goldfinches are turning up regularly on the Thistels at my favourite nature reserve again, so i spend the evening yesterday trying to shoot some images of them.I do have difficulties with getting a nice composition with these guys..
Any suggestions on this one? Also not sure about the "purple blob" at the bottom.. On one hand i think it fit's the scene, but on the other i think losing it might make it stronger compositionally..
Hope you have some good advise!

I know its probably againts the "photography rules" but i think this might look better(comp wise)with some more taken off of the right and atouch of the top.Putting the birds heads more into the corner.But i dont really know if it would work, because the way he's looking .A 2 min try out in PS would'nt do any harm to see if it did .
