Great Tit...
Shot this one a few hours ago in the garden.
Good weather conditions. Photographed hand held and Image Stabilizer was on.

wiki:
The Great Tit, Parus major, is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread and common species throughout Europe and Asia in any sort of woodland. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate.

It is an easy tit to recognise, large in size at 14 cm, with a broad black line (broader in the male) down its otherwise yellow front. The neck and head are black with white cheeks and ear coverts. Upperparts are olive. It has a white wingbar and outer tail feathers. In young birds the black is replaced by brown, and the white by yellow.

Hi Annick, you are lucky to have such beautiful birds in your garden. Good POV and colour and the tree branches almost act as a frame for the subject, well done.
Regards
Patrick

Hi Annick
Well composed shot, nice colours and details. You lost some detail on the white area but not big deal.

Hi Annick,
A very nice picture of this tit who looks so alert and seems to be on watch for something special - you have captured him spot on just before his next move! Thank you very much for an amusing and successful composition! (It's a pity the out of focus bud in the front is somewhat distracting but there isn't much space for cropping either, so let's hope selective perception will compensate for that, with all attention going to the tit :-).
TFS and best regards,
Goran

Hello Annick,
Nice to capture a common bird in a more unusual situation as you did here with this Great Tit. I find the budding flowers on the pear treeto be as important as the bird, both sharply presented and well composed against a pleasing bokeh BG.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Annick,
Another splendid portrait. Lovely colours and sharpness. I like those shapes of the branches and tiny flowers on them too. BG is superb as is the lighting. Very nicely composed and framed. Kudos.
TFS.

Bonjour Annick,
Présentation très belle de la mésange charbonnière dans son environnement. L'image est bien cadrée,les couleurs sont naturelles. Merci.
Bonne soirée
Anne

Hi Annick,
Beautiful springtime capture!
But white color is bad - no details.
You can use Exposure Compensation -1/3 or -2/3 to have details on white on this bird. :)
Regards and TFS,
Serge

Hello Annick,
I love your composition here with the bird in amoungst the new growth on your pear tree, it must be an old tree as the lichen are growing on the branches. Great camera work as always Annick, thanks for sharing.

This is from your garden, Annick?
What a beautiful composition.
Great details on the tit and the buds.
I particularly like the green yellow colors throughout the image.
TFS. : )

Hello Annick,
very pretty, fresh and lively capture, very well spotted and placed between all those nice buds and twigs in front of a distant dark green background. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Hi Annick,
I find the Great Tit one of the more difficult ones to photograph and I think you have done well to get as nice a picture as this. Nicely placed in the sprouting branches.
No detail in the whites though.
Regards,
Peter

bonjour,
Superbe photo j'adore aussi le fait qu'il y ai un peu de décor autour, les pettites fleurs naissantes.
