Pine Siskin

comments appreciated, thank you!

Your best sisken so far. Your PP is exceptional. 7/6

The composition is really nice, though the bird's head is a bit blurry. I really enjoy looking at your small bird photographs 6/6

Beautiful!

Thank you, Monte, Sinh and Ovidiu! I went out to fill the birdfeeder and these little guys are getting used to me, so they just hung around in the tree about 7-8 feet away. I went back to get the camera and they were so close that for some shots I couldn't focus. The minimum focus distance for this lens is 7.5 feet. Anyway, this shot is handheld at 1/160 sec. I agree that the head could be sharper, but I was amazed that I could almost walk up to these birds and they would pose for me!

 

Regards,
