Hi John

An impressive list and a beautiful goldfinch image, a bird that is in wonderful condition. If I was trying to nitpick then my only crit would be the stem going out of the top of the frame but that's a very minor point.

Cheers

Thanks both.
Thats the trouble with snow you either want it or you don't ! I could have moved it off the background I suppose.
Cheers
