Just enough of the yellow to tell what it is. Cool flight shot!

The flash stopped the action nicely and the longer shutter speed shows some motion which helps a lot IMHO :)

What a great action shot. And his eye is so sharp. It is all just beautiful, and extra points for degree of difficulty!

I have been trying to get a decent photo of a garden bird coming in to land, but with no success. Seeing your photo I feel inspired to keep trying. Did you use flash? Good work!

Nice angle and motion. Very pretty moment in time captured by your lens. What makes it even more special is the sharp eye and catch light. Great!

Sweetie this is a good shot to catch.. The approach /landing timing is pefect, wing span, catch light in the eye, detail of bird..
Well Done!!..

They always make landing look so easy - it's interesting to see just how much is going on the second before they land.

Tail splayed out as a brake, wings angled, feet reaching out , eye's focused on what to us is just a little feeder, but to him is huge. It's like us jumping onto a tiny ledge in front of a huge tree trunk !

Good capture.

Very nice, Patio Gal!! I just chose to stay home from work today due to icy conditions ... imagine that. Glad you found my little side challenge. Jane found it too.
I just spent a good long time shooting icy branches out the window, we'll see how they look a bit later.
I really like the slight diagonal your Pine Siskin makes in the shot and how sharp he/she is and yet the background is nice and soft.

PS: Your comment about the tree entry. Of course I would have gone back and got that shot again if we had snow during the single tree week. NO ... just before and just after. I'm so very lucky.

very nice capture... a little Sin having cut a small slice of wing.

What a great shot! I am impressed at the way you caught this little fellow during landing.
