Hi Anne.
I love this species a lot. When I was child we had them at home. Yu have represented them perfectly at very nice natural scenery. Both are reproduced excellently. Details, lights, sharpness and colours are amazing. I also like wonderful smooth pictorial BG. All together they create a very nice and pleasant for look picture. Bravo. Well done.

Beautiful photo, Anne.
Excellent sharp details and great natural colours in a very good vertical composition. Good OOF BG and DOF.

Ciao Anne,
splendida cattura di una coppia di Lucherino in una composizione, come sempre, armoniosa, ottima definizione e buoni i dettagli del piumaggio, la diversa posa degli uccelli e il fatto che si tratti di una coppia ci permette di apprezzare magnificamente le caratteristiche e il comportamento alimentare di questa specie, molto belli e luminosi i colori e stupendo sfondo che crea un bell'effetto TD.

Buona serata
Con amicizia

Hi Anne. This is such a good close up of the pair of Siskins. You have taken both with a nice pose and good use of the light which has given fine detail and rich colours. They look 3D on my computer screen against the plain BG. well done TFS
Nick..

Bonsoir Anne,
Très attachante image de ce couple de passereaux. Il est heureux que tu aies pu la retrouver... La scène est bien saisie, l'angle de vue bien choisi (les deux oiseaux sont rigoureusement placés sur le même plan) et les sujets se détachent bien de l'arrière plan.
Je n'ai pas reconnu leur garde manger.
Amitiés,
Hervé

Bonsoir Anne,
Une photo splendide! Pas facile d'avoir les deux oiseaux nets. Et un couple en plus! Un double exploit en effet. J'espère que tu pourras retrouver encore quelques photos malgré le crash et surtout penser aux prochaines que tu feras! Amitiés,
Catherine

ciao Anne!
excellent simultaneous capture of this pair of Lucherini caught while perched shrubs
to feed on seeds....
I hope that you can recover other data files from your computer!!!!

Hallo Anne!

Und dann gleich noch zu Zweit! Sehr schön anzusehen, dieses niedliche Pärchen, und ausgezeichnet fotografiert. Die Unterschiede zwischen dem Männchen und dem Weibchen sind gut erkennbar. Ich bin froh, gibt es Überlebende von Deinem Crash...

As Grüessli
