lovely John, the colours really stand out. I had a couple of female siskins in my garden recently but have yet to see a male.

Very nice John, really pops out of the background. I had a couple of these on the feeders during the snow, but nothing since.

He really is a beauty John, fabulous colour. So much detail - the drop of water on the bill. Terrific.

John

What a nice capture great colours. I'm trying to emulate your set up at my feeder station here in Kansas although in the middle of a tornado watch at the moment. Everything lashed down. Getting improved images but not quite there yet.

Lovely image John. Border looks great too

Colours and processing look spot on. Nicely done
