that's an excellent image, a real beauty. I've had occasional visits from a pair of siskins to my garden this winter but they never hang around for long. They're lovely looking birds.

A very eye-catching image that really 'pops.' Looks like you have some faint colour banding appearing in the background. :toast:

Looks a tiny bit "hard " (can't think of another word ) on my monitor.No big deal though.
Very nice.
