wiki..
Blue and Great Tits form mixed winter flocks, and the former are perhaps the better gymnasts in the slender twigs. A Blue Tit will often ascend a trunk in short jerky hops, imitating a Treecreeper. As a rule the bird roosts in ivy or evergreens, but in hard weather will shelter in a hole. Blue tits are very agile and can hang from almost anywhere.


The Blue Tit has an average life expectancy of 1.5 years

Hello Annick,
Very appealing portrait of a Blue Tit, looking pretty sharp and noise-free at ISO 800. Nice pose and composition.
Thanks for sharing,
Ivan

Ha Annick,

Ik zie dat er waarschijnlijk even een pauze in de krugerpark serie is,wel toevallig daar ik net mijn moeder (viv) aan de lijn had welke vandaag wederom is teruggekeerd na een veblijf van 4 weken aan dit park,de pimpelmees staat er fraai op,mooie diagonale compositie met fraaie achtergrond,bedankt

Hi Annick,
what a great portrait of this Blue Tit, the feathers seem to have so much texture and colour. Composition wise, it's pretty much perfect my friend. Very well done indeed.
Paul

Very nicely captured Annick!
I am somewhat surprised that those little gymnasts live only for such a 'short' period of time! The things we learn I guess....
Anyhow, you've got a very nice shot of this little bird. I know they don't sit too long in one spot to allow for good picture opportunities. Great work.

Martin

Hi Annick,
a nice portrait of this fluffy blue tit.
Good sharpness and fine colours.
I like the pose and composition.
Well done.

Hello Annick
The combination of the lighting and pose makes this for me a truly superb Blue Tit Portrait...The sharpness is to be expected from your equipment but this no way takes anything from your undoubted skill as a photographer.
Best Regards
Paul

Hallo Annick,
Ja, ik kan me voorstellen dat je na het fotograferen van zo'n Pimpel, deze er even tussendoor wilt zetten. Wat een schoonheid! en technisch weer een topper. Ben toch weer benieuwd naar je volgende Afrika foto.
Groet,
Peter

Ha Annick,

Het blijft een mooi vogeltje, de pimpelmees.Persoonlijk zou ik de crop iets anders maken met minder ruimte boven en onder. Ik vind de belichting erg subtiel!

groet,
Zeno.

Hi Annick,
A clean and beauty capture!
I like very much the pose got, light and clear details got on the plumage.
It's so nice the view of the tiny beak and the colours around it.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

A good image from your homeland. As always it is a very good picture having great color, detail and depth of field that highlights your main subject exceptionally well. I really like your style for nature imagery.

As is almost always true of added borders I see everywhere, I would prefer it was not there. Seems a waste of good image space for a great picture. A wide matt for a fine art print is fine, but never seems to work very well for a web graphic.

Hi Annick. A picture from home today from you. And a little Blue Tit. you have captured it with a nice pose on the twig with is head to one side. good detail and natural looking colours. well done TFS.
Nick..

Eh bien Yannick, on n'a pas l'habitude de vous voir poster des images aussi locales ! par contre, on est habitué à leur qualité : on pourrait lui compter les plumes à cette petite mésange !
Merci du partage.

Hi Annick,
great to see a change from the African photos! (not that I didn't like them though!)
Very sharp with superb detail and clarity.
Superb composition and POV.
Great DOF, focusing and a nicely blurred BG.
I think there is a slight blue colour cast, but it may just be my monitor! :)
Great lighting and exposure.
Brilliant work Annick!
TFS,
Joe

Splendida immagine dai dettagli e colori eccellenti in una composizione "très agreable et douce". Complimenti!!!

Hello Annick,
Beautiful composition with the tit being isolated by the out of focus background. The colors and sharp focus are great as well.
Rick

Hi Annick,
Again a perfect composition and amazing sharpness. Wonderfull little feathers.
(Ik heb een kleine keur verandering aangebracht in workshop, omdat het zo mooi is.
ik hoop dat je het ok vindt. Het is de eerste keer dat ik een workshop kan posten, omdat mijn laptop met photoshop nu met internet verbonden is)
Great job Annick and TFS

Hello Annick
Beautiful capture and excellent result at 800 ISO.Sharp iamge whit lovely colors.Details and composition are excellent.
Congradulation and TFS Michel

Nice shot of this bird, good detail, nice pose and background. Personally I think I'd have warmed up the colour just a little to cut down on the blue cast on the whites.

Hi Annick,
Wow, 800ISO, is not my D70s! Nice bird, i like the composition and de DOF on this picture. TFS

Hi Annick

Superb capture of the Blue Tit, lovely composition and I really like the way the bird is posed in the frame, very nice feather detail, well saturated colours that stand out beautifully fron the more muted Bg colour.
