Darren,
Love this!! The composition is great, the head turn is perfect, the perch, the background and the lighting really make this bird pop, and it appears sharp. Hard to tell without a larger version. Really fantastic shot Darren.

Sweet shot Darren. Love this bird on this BG. Nice perch choice too. Would love to see a larger version of this.

Great job on the exposure, Darren. Really nice detail in the blacks and bright yellows.I like the very pleasing perch and background.

Good work on this Goldfinch Darren. Looks to be sharp and has good position in the frame. Not sure why, but I find myself wishing the BG was a touch brighter...maybe just a preference because the blacks look perfectly exposed.

Super shot, Darren. I like all the elements in this image - the headturn, perch, background and light. Perfect composition.
