Actually this is one of my first pictures of 2009,made a while ago in the forest,it was grey (overcasted) and dark in the forest and I have to increase the ISO to 800 and shoot wide open (so DOF could have been better),anyway I like to post this picture of one of my favourite tits in our region,the crested tit,I have posted this bird before and for any additional info I refer to these uploads,

Probably you will see some noise (due higher ISO and some smart sharpening)on this picture,but as I am working from my laptop at the moment (desktop has crashed a while ago),I did not do any other PP like noise ninja.I have bought a new desktop and monitor with calibration software which I will pick up later today so I am curious about the results with my new set up.

Thanks for watching and your comments

What a darling little bird! Absolutely beautiful.
I have trouble with noise when my ISO is set high. Even using Neat Image doesn't always do the trick. But this is a fine shot. Love the clarity and the catchlight in the bird's eye.

Hej Paul,
In spite of the dull weather you got a superb capture of this little beauty! Excellent focus on the eye and very fine sharp details. I like its pose and the composition is lovely! We used to have quite a few here but as they've thinned out the forest around us a lot of birds have fled!!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Paul,
From all tits this species is very rare on TN. You managed to catch in very interesting pose. Although weather didn't favor you, photo is very fine. I like such BG.
Best regards, Pawel.

Hy Paul
From what I know, is a small bird, not so frequent in the nature ans of course, on this site.I like the colors of the feathers and his funny post.
Kind regards, Oana

Hej Paul,
I hope your are well, it's nice to see you are back.
A fine picture of Tofsmesen, the sharpness and details are very good even in this bad light. Well composed with nice colours.
I can see some noise but that's a minor.
Well done.

Hallo Paul,
Inderdaad zit in de achtergrond wat ruis, maar de Kuifmees is schitterend. Vaak werkt wat minder licht beter voor natuurlijke kleuren, zoals in deze foto. Uitstekende scherpte, POV en compositie. Erg goed, zelfs grappig, oogcontact.
Groet,
Peter

Hello Paul,
A very fine capture of a Crested Tit in poor lighting. At ISO 800 the quality of this shot is pretty good and the POV, pose, sharpness and light management are excellent: you even managed a catchlight in the eye!
Well done and thanks for sharing a this fine shot iof this delightful little bird.
Best regards,

Hello Paul,

The bird is in a very good pose making the image dinamic. Due to the well chosen POV you have got a fine perspective over the bird. Light, even not strong, has been well used so that colors are naturaly looking.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hi Paul,

This Crested Tit is absolutely adorable. I wish I could see such a bird here. I love the perky pose on the branch and the inquisitive look on the face. Excellent colors and details of the face, eye, crest, and plumage. The composition is wonderful. Good luck with your new set-up - hope you love it.

Hola Paul.
Hermoso pajarillo el que hoy nos presentas aqui. La pose singular en busca de comida sobre una ramas de pino. Los colores suaves bien definidos dan clase y calidad a la foto.
Excelente nota Paul.
