Hi Karen,
Exquisite perch, detail and comp Karen. The grayish bg isn't my favorite but still an excellent shot.

A sweet shot Karen. Wonderful detail in the larger version. The perch is great and I like the BG. Well done.

Karen, the simplicity of this image is very appealing to me, I kind of like the warm colors of the bird against to cooler colors of the background, the bird stands out very nicely from it. Lovely details, sharpness and pose. Nice eye contact too!

Wonderful bird Karen. Our gold finches don't have the same colors. The image is well composed and sharp! This is a keeper!

I like the simplicity of this image, Karen. Great pose and perch. Exposure techs on both blacks and whites are very good.

I really like this Karen. Striking bird with color matched perch, great pose and IQ looks good. I'm fine with the background.
