I had a great morning with lots of birds. This Siskin is my favorite.

Hi Edwin,
Very nice capture of a Siskin! Been trying for a decent shot of one of these lovely birds for a few days now but no avail! Beautiful setting you've caught it in!

Great shot and framing of the bird.

Very attractive shot indeed. I like the pose, perch and bg very much. Lovely colours too.

Can't decide over the top OoF blossom Edwin, but it's another cracker of a capture - nice one matey
All Hail to the Ale - and the wine, for the ladies

very nice just to get one of these and with that backgroung and perch!
one thing, the the OOF focus stem on the bottom branch is a bit unatural looking, then again it isn't too obvious
Cracking Image, but I can't help feeling it would have more impact without the top branch, also as Jack says that little bit at the bottom, (blame Jack here, I wouldn't have really noticed if he hadn't mentioned it but now it draws my eye....)

Super shot Edwin. One mornings snow and these birds have just decided to return to my feeders. Sometimes I think they are just using me. Eric
