Goldfinch and Thistle

This is a high-quality print of an American Goldfinch perched on the seed head of a Thistle plant. The image has a shallow depth of field, with the goldfinch and thistle in sharp focus against a soft, sun-dappled, out-of-focus background of green foliage and pale flowers.

The bird, likely a female or non-breeding male, is a soft olive-yellow with dark wings featuring white wing bars. It is actively foraging, surrounded by the deep purple and fuzzy, white down of the mature thistle flower. The bright natural light highlights the texture of the bird's feathers and the delicate fluff of the thistle down, giving the print a vibrant, naturalistic feel.
