A nice image with good detail, the main problem is that the perch is not very nice and rather overpowering for the bird, If you have lots visiting the garden perhaps a search for more 'sympathetic' perches, I am sure you will have lots more opportunities and looking forward to seeing more......
Not the best of perches as it is rather dominant, wait a couple of weeks and you will be spoilt for choice, all those perches with all that blossom on.
The Goldfinch itself is really excellent. An excellent shot which is a great foundation to work on. Look forward to some more.

Nits already covered. I do like that background, which suits the subject very well.

As David said super BG and nicely taken goldfinch. Worth looking for a better perch to tempt them on to

There are a lot of these birds in the garden just now.
