This male Siskin (Carduelis spinus) was taken at the same session as my earlier Willow warbler post. 80% of full frame.

Very nice light, details and BG. I wish for a bit more headturn toward you.
Very nice image, I like the way the Bg colors frame the bird.

Nice capture Daniel. The perch is not all that attractive in my view and a bit dominant in the frame, so I might crop a bit tighter on that pretty bird.

Although I realize you might want to keep the lichen in the image I still would crop to right above where to awkwardly broken branch ends. A striking bird that could have done you a favor by turning it's head more towards the camera!
