Siskin
Through the romm window again. Quite a lot starting to happen at last. Just need the weather.
Don't really like the plain backgrounds so this was tried with some camo hung in a bush !
D200 640 ISO
125th @ f8
Levels / crop and resize in PSP7
Bit of edge preseving smooth on background.

A very nice Siskin that pops out at you. I'm going to try and emulate your system with our garden feeds when we return to the USA next month.
I take my hat off to you John, a bird for every day Think it could do with a tad more sharpening? Like the pose.

Thanks
lets face it Steve - I do nothing else !! At my age I can't anyway !!
I think I may have resised it for here and forgot to sharpen - I'll have a look.
Cheers

Great shot, great pose and details!

Love the pose and BG colors of this one John!
Not too fond of that perch though...

Nice one John, The background works well here & really makes the details in the bird stand out.

Good idea with the background John and the birds not so bad either.

Wouldn't have guessed about the background - something else for me to try. Thanks! Nits already covered.

Thanks all .
Realised why its a bit muzzy. Put the original through Neat Image and sharpened it as well ( Filter and sharpen )
Not a good idea , and this was before I got the hang of it. Didn't save the original either !!

lovely bird John but the perch does not do it for me, tadge heavy and the broken bit is too showy, great from your window though
