Wow! That really pings off the screen. I agree with the other - great complimentary background; it would be even better with more of it.

Cheers,
Chris

Fantastic colours Geoff - far closer than I can ever get to them!:toast:
Karen, I have noticed that there are years when there are siskins all over the place, and then years when I will see none all winter...
