Great shot. I like the BG and the way the yellow of the lichen complements the yellow of the siskin's feathers. Keep those SD14 shots coming.

I have a second SD14 now that the price has come right down, a bargain at the moment, but it is rumoured there is going to be a price increase mid May. See

Fine shot with an interesting perch. The bird looks a little washed out to me though - may be my monitor.

Nice one, great perch and a nice pose from the Siskin, have to agree with Eric though the bird does look a tad washed out, the image looks to be overexposed, I might also lose some of the space atop for presentation on the web.
