Hello Gert!
This is my favourite species of tits! And one of the most rare observed by me. Here it was presented in a very nice way, very good exposed, with good DOF, details, colours and sharpness. Bravo also for the note, as always I found here a lot of interesting details.
TFS and have a nice afternoon!

Gert
I wish I could describe the feeling coming over me, when I opened this thumbnail. I just cannot express the thoughts going through my mind. This is absolutely striking. It looks as if this bird’s feathers have been combed for the occasion. It is as if this dainty and cute bird has just had a visit to the beauty salon. This is indescribable beautiful. This is definitely a winner and most definitely a HUGE favourite. Need I say more? In Afrikaans there is a saying : “Hulle sal hulle ou skoene agterna gooi om so ‘n foto te kan neem” and I think it is most certainly applicable here. ( I think if you do not understand that saying you can ask my friend Loot to translate it for you,as I am sure he will be the best person for the job. I for one is so chuffed with this image, I cannot imagine how you must feel about it. Thanks for sharing, it is much more than appreciated.
Warmest regards
Aaltjie

Hej Gert,
Best of luck to you and Micke with this new and exciting project! This is certainly a brilliant start! You've caught this cute little Tit in a lovely pose showing its beautiful plumage so well. Great sharpness and true colours which stand out nicely against the fine soft background.
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

bonjour gert
bien que la mesange soit etremement bien presenté et nette d'un bout a l'autre,je trouve dommage que vous ayez laissé le BG granuleux comme cela.

Dear Gert,

The Long-tailed tit is an incredible beauty the way you present it here . All these details, even the yellow upper lid ! I know that these are small and nervous fellows, so my compliments to you for the shot.

My best regards,
Dietrich

Hi Gert,

What an exciting project you are in the midst of! And what a beautiful shot this is of the Tit. A very sweet face with absolutely amazing plummage. A fantastic composition with the lovely pose on the diagonal log. Colors and details could not be better.

Hi Gert,
Reading you note means that we can expect some stunning bird photos this upcomming winter. I do hope you will captured something very special. You started already with a beauty and a bird that is unfamiliar to me. I like its sweet expression.

What a cute little fellow he is Gert. He sure has a long tail, and what pretty colours he has too. Well done.
How is the new camera to use with your hands? How are your hands?

Hej Gert
Nice shot of this Long-tailed Tit, well saturated and presented.

Vad roligt att du och Micke ska bygga gömställen! Då blir det svårt att hitta dig i skogen vid nästa besök :) Då måste jag komma på invigningen, inget snack om det! Jag har en plan som jag tänkte ringa till till dig och bäretta. Vi hörs!

TFS / Hälsningar

Hi Gert

Another splendid long-tailed tit shot from you, my friend, and i also must say that it's great to see you shoot with the Canon again! Are your arms and hands feeling better? I certainly hope so :)

Anyway, the photo is superb, with impeccable details in the bird. I really like the strong contrasting colors in the plummage as well as the great isolation from the BG.
Very nice almost diagonal composition and charming pose of the tit, too.

Take care and TFS

Hello Gert,
a very nice picture of this white headed long tailed tit. This sub species (the white headed) is very rare in the netherlands. Although it is claimed many times, there is also a large variation in plumage of native birds. Would be interesting to see the migration patterns of these birds.
The picture itself is well exposed which is not easy with a white bird as this one. Well performed!
Greets, Jacob
