Outstanding shot of this Willow Tit befitting the occasion and cheering up everyone. Superb lighting, exposure, sharpness and colours. The BG is so special and the snow flakes give a perfect setting. Excellent POV and DOF. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hello Gert,

I see that I have to a lot learn for take bird in the nature, I look with a great attention to your fantastic portraits from birds.
I know that the 400 L USM a very sharp and good lens, I have a 100-400mm L IS now, I shall carry out experiments and hope to make a good image.
Splendid picture with a very great quality, my compliments.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Gert

A splendid shot here and one that acts superbly as a greetings card. :)
As we have come to expect from you, the tit here is presented in a simply perfect way - with loads of razor sharp details, with a exceptional light on it and with nothing else in the frame to distract.
Referring to the light, i must once again remark the great fill-in work of your flash. I should really learn how to do that better...maybe a New Year's revelation :)
I'd also like to take this chance and wish you and all your loved ones a warm and sincere Merry Christmas and also the best of everything of what the world has to offer in the year to come!

Happy holidays! and TFS

Dear Gert,
I have to be honest and say I think this is the first time I've seen your work, TN is so big, but what a shot just stunning the detail is beautiful, excellent exposure and well framed, all the best for the coming year and I look forward to seeing more of your stunning work, Take care Rick :)

Hej Gert,
I agree with Rick, TN is so big now and that's why I've missed your wonderful Christmas greeting! Forgive me, I was looking out and wondering whether we'd see you popping in! Anyway, hope all's well and this is a lovely capture of the Willow Tit from your hide-out I expect. Great sharpness and I love the soft wintry background.
Hope you had a lovely Christmas and all the very best wishes for the New Year!
Ha det gott! Ulla
