Siskin at pool.
Not many of these this year and that much water is hard getting stuff restricted to my pools.
Can't last for ever !

Good capture John, never seen one for a while. I like the detail on the bird, its almost a 3D effect against the BG.

Thanks Will. Must admit, not popular on here but one of my favourites out of a lot of Siskins at water shots.

Good looking bird with nice feather details. The eye looks a bit funky.

Looks quite a bit better with the slight adjustment on the eye. I am not big into making changes in postprocessing but it's amazing how much a little work on and I can approve an image.

Cheers Marina
It does make a difference.
