[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
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 Great Tits do not migrate.
The Great Tit has a wide distribution across much of Eurasia. It is found across all of Europe except for Iceland and northern Scandinavia, and then across the Middle East, Northern Morocco and Algeria and parts of central Asia as far as Japan. Another band of distribution occurs through Iran into northern India into Southeastern Asia, whilst another population lives in southern India. The species also occurs over much of China, Korea and Japan, and in Indonesia down into Borneo and as far as the Lesser Sundas.

The Great Tit was unsuccessfully introduced into the United States; birds were set free near Cincinnati, Ohio between 1872 and 1874 but failed to become established. Birds later introduced to the Almaty Province in what is now Kazakhstan in 1960-61 and have become established, although present status is unclear.

superba din punct de vedere al detaliilor pasarii si a contactului vizual. si creanga cu muschi este superba.

daca erai cu vreo jumate de metru mai in spate probabil ar fi iesit pe gustul meu: adica sa fie toata pasarea in focus si sa nu fie taiata o bucatica de creanga.

Buna Mircea,

Calitatea imaginii este excelenta pasrea fiind foarte clar redata. Cele mai mici detalii ale penajului pot fi bine observate iar culorile sunt intense dar naturale. Pasarea arata foarte bine pe fundalul neclar si de o culoare potrivita.

TFS si toate cele bune,
Cristian
