I love this picture, it looks like you have been hanging the birds on a curtain! The colours are really nice, earth tones and very natural, the birds are lovely. They look like our pine siskins our American goldfinches but more like the pine siskins. Winter seems to be embracing the northern hemisphere at once! Thank for this lovely shot, superb pov and beautiful framing,

Francine

Salut Cristian, sunt foarte frumosi "acrobatii" tai. Ce baftos esti ca pe la voi ninge. nu am mai vazut zapada pe aici de multisor. Chiar de ninge nu se prinde nimic.
plictis total.
Felicitari pentru poza.

I like this image. It is busy with activity. The snow and the yellows unify the picture. I wish these birds would come eat the seed off of my birches!!!

Ciao Cristian,
meraviglioso momento di cattura di questo piccolo gruppo di lucherini, splendida composizione con gli uccelli in una bella postura per mangiare i semi e con i bei colori autunnali in primo piano e BG grigio di neve, ottima nitidezza.
TFS.

Hello Cristian,
Very beautiful capture of the little Siskins clinging onto the thin Birch branches. I love the colours of birds and Birch seeds and leaves against the white background. Great focus and a lovely composition.
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Cristian.
Very difficult for correct exposure subject and you managed to take an amazing picture. You have reflected state of the weather at first snow day perfectly. All objects are represented excellently both sharp and blurred. Colour tones are rich, various and delicate at the same time. Vertical orientation of the image is great. Well done and kind regards.
