I like it a lot Grace Usually that much perch would bother me but I think all goes very well together Might take a little of the top to move the center branch more off center Looking at it some more would take some from bottom Won't affect the overall impact and would improve it !!! Big Congrats !!!

Nicely composed and the perch is well balanced in the frame. The exposure and pose of the bird are great

I really like the composition,pose and details!

Great details, raised head plumage and BG. The perch is quite prominent but works very well for this species, and it is always great to see a siskin. I might try to make the catchlight a bit smaller.

I like the pose and the image is well detailed.
