    I like the colors, lighting, perch and foot movement. Does look like it is a bit soft, maybe another sharpening needed?

    Lighting and colors are lovely, but the bird isn't sharp. Raised foot and spring of green are nice, but the disengaged head angle is tough. I'd also move the subject up and right as the frame is very left/bottom heavy at the moment.

    Thanks for the feedback, I was a little cautious over sharpening, the image is pin sharp, here is a repost and re-composition.

    Sharpening much better on the repost. Comp Ok too. Head angle is a tough sell. I like the raised foot.

    Hi Jon ... all works well for me here !!!
    Just think the sharpness is not 100 % , also not in the RP .... for sure way better than the OP .
    But the Siskin looks great in terms of color and tone

    TFS Andreas
