I like the pose, the sky is too saturated but the focus is wrong, the branch is pin sharp but the bird isn't. Always try to get the eye sharp, not easy I know but it is traditionally what is expected in a bird shot.

Agree, you cannot alter the focus now but you could tone down the sky to make the bird stand out more.

thank you very much for feedback
firstly background, will have a look at toning it down
focusing, what i tried to do was pre focus an area using a fluffy toy sit back with remote
think i am going to have to work a way of getting in garden without them seeing me and try for the eyes

thanks again

In saying that, this shot is far superior to anything I got when I first started out, so long as you take on board any pointers people give you, then you will be improving in no time

A good shot to post, well done on getting this far and taking all the crits in the way they were meant. If you have Nyger seed feeders and sunflower hearts the goldfinches will hang around for ever.

I find they are one of the first birds to arrive and the last to be frightened away. So you stand a good chance of getting closer

Nice shot, could be a little bit sharper.

I personally would crop a tad off the RHS and a couple of inches off the LHS to give an upright format.

Must agree I'm affraid, nice shot though, would work with the sky toned down a bit.
