Nice catch on the goldfinch, he looks to be giving something a close look, possibly you.

Very interesting shot - well captured. I would have cropped closer to the bird on this one. The bird has a very interesting posture here and you have the focus really on those eyes. Well done. Keep them coming. Cheers, Bernz

Lovely little Bird! It's in the fly catcher family, I think. Great focus and composition.
Thanks for sharing this

Great capture.

I really like the light separation of the bird from the background.

And that pose is really striking.

Thanks for sharing.
