We put out socks with Finch food each winter and so get lots of Goldfinches in our backyard. You never see just one Goldfinch but there are dozens!

Really nice BOAS portrait Daniel! Very nice feather detail and the nice catchlight in the eye. Well done ... have a great weekend.

Excellent capture!

I like the pose and the catchlight, it may be just me but the branch looks sharper than the bird even though I can see fine detail in the bird, I'm wondering if the head is just a touch softer than the rest of the bird, sorry I can't be more definitive

Feathers are a bit softer than wood . . . My focus was on the eye, but the bird was some distance away at the time. Camera has a mind of its own sometimes!
