A perfect perch and setting for this young Goldie.You have captured the moment superbly Marian. Lovely image.

Dreamy capture - you see he is surrounded in thistles, the feather detail makes him look really fluffy and contrasts nicely with the sharp thistle texture

Terrific capture of this little finch, thanks for sharing...

This is beautiful and I've added it to my favorites - excellent image, mi amiga!

I like the compo of this shot, Marian. The fuzzy background gives a dreamy quality to the shot. Standing on those pointed needles can't be comfortable for the feet. Well done !
