Awesome perches and compositions Gary ... good to see the color coming back on the goldies... I haven't seen one since December.

Detail is very good, and not just the bird but the thorns as well.

Very pretty shots, Gary. The dark background and perch really makes the bird stand out. I like both shots a lot.
