The large version looks great Oscar, I also like your positioning of the Siskin in the frame, nice to see a bit of blue sky too.

Nice composition; the relationship between the two specials is conveyed well in this shot, Oscar. Your work moves from strength to strength.
Cheers,
Chris

I agree with Chris, you've come a long way in the last 18 months. Another lovely shot. I am not sure whether I would rather see the bird a little higher in the frame. It would be more natural, given the direction it is looking in, but it would mean sacrificing those lovely catkins.

Strong composition and lovely colours and a real natural feel to the image Oscar

A fine image Oscar. I'd agree with David that the bird may look a bit more natural placed higher but that is just an option and wouldn't stop me liking this as it is.

Higher would be a bit better but saying that it is a nice image overall!

Thanks for your comments
Here is a repost with the bird a little higher in the frame - is it better? One thing I do not like with this is the out of focus catkins in the bottom right corner...
