Hi John, lovely angled pose, and I like how the perch flows diagonally across the frame. The snow/ice on the perch adds interest, as does the falling snowflakes. The colours of the bird pop nicely against your wintery setting.

I like this one!
Nice diagonal line created by the perch. Excellent IQ on the goldfinch.
Nice to see the bird transitioning into the bright yellow "courting" colors.
