Male Siskin
Taken last May, these lovely little birds have vanished from my local area. I hope they return, because they are lovely to watch and photograph.

Taken on a Canon 50D, and Sigma 150-500mm lens.

All C&C's most welcome,
Many thanks,
Paul. :wavey:

That is a cracking portrait. I might have positioned it a little further to the left, no big deal though.

A lovely image Paul. Nice perch and BG too. Agree with David about a little further to the left. Like you I love Siskins - beautiful birds. :toast:

Hi Paul,

Lovely job, great colour, detail, bg and perch! Agree about the comp, but no big deal.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Great shot all round and I think the comp works as is.

An excellent portrait Paul, comp looks fine to me, I reckon if you crop anything from the left you will start getting posts saying it's too close to the edge !
