Lovely, perch, pose, and had angle. A very engaging frame! That said, the subject and perch look overly smoother, perhaps from excessive NR? The face looks decent but the folded wing (particularly around the wing bars) is getting muddy. Loving that smooth BG regardless!
Hi Will a very pleasing image of the Siskin , I do like the perch , pose and the HA. comp and framing is about the right , as are the overall tones .
i am not too excited about the overall wb and colors ... and the perch looks the worst on that front , I would expect more color and depth .
i am ok with the detail and can't see any issues regarding nr .... not surprised that the wings appear less sharper at f 5,6 !!!!
It's also one of my favorite birds. A photo with a beautiful pose. The picture is very clear and bright, highlighting its round black eyes, so the picture looks very attractive and has depth.
