Sweet shot. The head turn is terrific, as is the pose and the perch. :toast:

This is a wonderful image. All the technical stuff is spot on. It is well composed and, to my eye, all the colors work well together. :toast:

Very nice, Geoffrey. Sweet perch, nice background and classic head turn. I'd be proud to have this in my portfolio.

I love the sharpness, the colours, and that catchlight in her eye! I see Siskins all the time in the summer near my house, but I have never gotten this nice of a picture of one. Great image!

Neat shot Geoff. The head turn takes the cake, along with the nice perch.

Geoffrey,

I like how the branch the bird is perched on creates a diagonal line towards the left side of the frame and how the head turn & bill creates another one going towards the right side of the frame. Lovely, complimentary background colors, look at the eye and comp.
