Today again an upload from the tit family,the smallest in our region the coal tit,I think it is my first upload of this small tit,he gave me a short moment to make this capture,made in the forrest while hiding in portable hide,in the shades of the trees it was a bit on the dark side and had to go up to ISO 400,the dof is quite shallow due to f4 and the close distance I photographed this tit,but it is sharp where it matters,hope you like it and tfw

Hello Paul,
Great pose and POV in the capture of this Coal Tit from your hide. You made good use of the poor light and the image is sharp where it matters most.
It has been too windy to use my hide these last few days.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Regards, Ivan

Hallo Paul,
kop mooi scherp en prachtige kleuren.
Mooie achtergrond, alleen jammer dat zijn pootjes net niet scherp zijn.

groet Gert

Hello Paul,
I really liked your picture of Coal Tit. though the Tit family is not very common in our region I was once lucky to see a Great Tit which I couldnot photograph becuase it was far away for me to get a decent shot. Your picture is excellent with good details even with such adverse light conditions. The POv and pose are very good so is the blurred background.
TFS & Regards,
Smitha.
P.S. Tried a small WS, hope you won't mind.
