Hello Gert
I also dont know what to think. Big group of great TN photographers have left. I am glad that you are staing.

Another great photo. I like this species very much. Good diagonal composition, perfect blured background and good exposure on white fethers
Best wishes

Hej Gert,
A fantastic capture of the Long-tailed Tit. The POV and technical qualities are superb to show this little active bird at its best in a fine composition against a fine neutral BG.
Well done MF and thanks for sharing this delight!
I hope the future of TN will be more settled. Ulla and I will see what happens and we hope that we don't have to leave.
Hälsningar och trevlig helg!

Hello Gert
I love this "flying snow ball", especially that is east-north european subspecies, with no bands on his head, revealing the small black eyes! Well done and TFS!

Hello Gert,
It's good to see the light again and you managed to get a superb capture of this little beauty! I expect it wasn't alone as they always seem to come in numbers. I haven't seen them for ages but heard them not long ago. I love your composition and details and colours are wonderful as is the background that makes it stand out. Very nice!!
Det känns trist just nu men vi avvaktar och ser vad som händer här. Jag gillar inte fotosidan heller längre - allt blir för stort och komplicerat!
TFS and all the best, Ulla

Gert,

First, I am relatively new to the site, but I too lost some good "friends" and very good photographers that I hoped to lean from. It is hard to make friends in less than 2 months, but my heart dropped when I went to their site yesterday and all their great photos were gone. I hope they come back, but I am not sure they will. At this point, I don't plan on leaving. I am glad I found you and hope to make you a photography friend in the future.

Now to the Picture at hand.

This is a very good shot of a bird we don't see in Northern Illinois. The international flavor of this site is one of the things that has kept me here. Your lighting and composition in just right. The catch light in the eye adds to the picture. The diagonal lean of the branch and the straight line of the tail make this a great picture.

Thanks - Bob

Hello Gert!

Thank you for not leaving TN. I'm also going to stay and see what will happens here. I hope this stinky situation will be resolved soon.

Picture is superb - really worth to be sold :-) - sorry bad joke! I've never seen this tit in wild, it must be very cute bird. Diagonal composition and fluffy subject look excellent.

Hi Gert. I hope you will be able to stay on TN Its always so good for new members to see your kind of site. This a very fine close up of the cute Long Tailed Tit. You have taken this with a good POV on the old twig. With such a good diagonal postion of the bird. Which you have taken with fine feather detail and natural colours. well done TFs.

Hi Gert,

I would love to see one of these Tits in "real life." Another of your beautiful shots showing this bird off to full advantage. He looks so soft and fuzzy with lovely colors and fine details. I love the touch of yellow on the eye. A perfect pose on the diagonal branch to emphasize the long tail. I think many of us are sitting on the fence to see which way to go. Each time a good friend leaves it is like a death in the family.

Hello gert,
At first very happy that you decided to stay and like you say hoping that we can go back to the true spirit of TN.
The picture, like all your bird pictures is of great quality, not only from the technical point of view. Very pleasing composition to show this very quick bird,almost impossible to catch..To feed it might be a good idea:-)
Thanks
Have a nice weekend

Hello Gert,

My first reaction is, YES..WHAT A BEAUTY. immediately to my FAVORITES.

The diagonal compo is perfect. The clarity is marvelous. You can see the cold temp on this bird. Blowing up here feathers.

It is a superb capture Gert. Thanks for staying with us and of course the sharing of this cut birdie.

Have a nice sunday and TFS BOB

Hi Gert.
TN is one of my rare sources of vital forces. My destiny is those. To lose friends is so painfully. I think TN is not the worst place for encouragement and friendship. I hope you understand me.

I know you like this species a lot. And I am impressed with every your shot of these birds. This diagonal composition is amazing. Both bird and twig are reproduced brilliantly with extreme sharpness and precise details, ultimate exposure and impressive magnification level. Neutral BG is great canvas for this picture. Thanks a lot for this work of art and best wishes.
Alexei.
