From this morning. The bird was in partial shade and the background was in the sun. I liked the effect this created.
Anything.
Is this a composite: No

Hi Dennis! I really like the effect as well, the background has a little light yellowish green going on, which is a nice compliment to the finch! I also like the pose, it’s very cute!
Hi Dennis
The framing and background help your Goldfinch to stand out. The head turn, eye contact and detail just add to this photograph. Nice work.

Good job on the detail, color, head turn and BG. Exposure is perfect.
You certainly captured the gold with this one. What a beauty is all respects.
Another terrific image, Dennis. I agree with all the comments of the other responders.
