    Nice headturn and sharpness. maybe a bit on the "flashy" side?
    I'm guessing he wouldn't like the weather up here in Minnesota today -27 windchill.

    I like the detail and inquisistive pose. I might be tempted to tone down the perch and burn in the leaves a little to keep attention on the subject - I find the leaf on the left pulls my eye away from the bird.

    Fabulous capture Pepe! The sharp detail, exp and head turn are great! However, I agree with Tony that the leaf on the left is a distraction. I hope you don't mind but I reposted your image with a slight crop from the left and also I Quick Masked the remainder of the leaf out. I think that this adjustment puts our eye right were it should be, on that beautiful capture of the Siskin. Great work!:)

    My repost seems to have lost some of the original posts saturation? Oh well, the idea is still there.

    I like the pose and the cloned out leaf in the repost makes it even better.

    Beautiful capture and I like the original image in this case as its doing the work of window and allowing you to see at the bird only.
