Such a bright little bird, both in habit and colour. Very nicely caught.

A little bit central but otherwise a nice image.

Hi Colin, really like this one, super colours and pose. On my screen it looks as if the eye is not fully in focus, but could be my eyes

Love it

Hello Colin.

Nice image of the Siskin, and shows the markings of very well.
I think I would crop some of the top as there is a lot of space and we dont need it.

I'd agree with Guys comments about cropping - other than that it's a nice shot of a very pretty little bird

It's been said, there's a cracking shot in there.

Nice image Colin.
All I would suggest is a slice off the left up to the cone.
They nested somewhere near the garden this year.
Cheers
