Pine Siskin in snowstorm

Agree with Kathy.... and I really like the unique composition and perch. Excellent detail, too... Mike

Thank you very much, Kathy! I don't mind the ratings. People have different tastes and there is nothing remarkable about this image. I just was happy that I could get it. Shooting these little birds is a lot of fun. If I could critique myself for a minute(and I do this daily) I would say that I'd like it sharper. So, I need a better tripod, a cable release and a faster lens. This was taken in low light at 1/125 sec with my lens wide open(f5.6 at 400 mm). So, better equipment, better technique and a faster long lens and who knows...maybe there would be no 3s:-)

I really appreciate your comments!

Thank you too, Mike! I was writing the other comment when you posted yours. Nice to hear from you!

Cynthia, I was sitting on the snow, about 12 feet from the feeder with the camera on the tripod and my eye to the view finder...firing off shots as fast as they happen. I took about 40 frames of this bird to get this one pose.

Thanks for looking!
