At least a noisy one. Pine Siskins don't have themost musical of calls, but they're fun to have around. I liked the simple perch and bg in this one. I did bring out the texture of the bg just a bit with Topaz Detail.

7Dii, 500mm f4 ISL + 1.4TC, Jobu Gimbal on RRS legs, f/7.1, 1/1250, iso 800, aperture priority, partial metering, no compensation. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 14MP. Taken in the back yard at 2:42 yesterday afternoon.

Your comments are very much appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Looks good Dennis. Siskins can raise a ruckus for sure. The larger version is worth looking at and has lots of subtle details plus that open beak pose. The detail in the eye is amazing devil .............................Jim

A very sharp capture of this Pine Siskin, Dennis! The details are superb plus the exposure and colors are right on the money. We have a lot of these little guys around here and I always enjoy watching them.
