Hi Nick,
A lovely composition ...
Sharp detail and excellent colors.
Best wishes,
Seyfi

Hello Nick,

An excellent & beautiful capture of this Blue Tit with lovely coloration. One can tell that is was winter-time when this was taken. This Blue Tit's plumage is puffed out to increase its body insulation.

Very nicely done ...Nick & TFS.

Best wishes

Hello Nick,
I like the half-dorsal POV in this capture of a Blue Tit to show the back and top of the head as well as the side with nice sharpness, lighting and colours against a superb contrasting dark brown neutral BG to make this a fine portrait of this species.
Thanks and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hi Nicholas!

From the archives or not, this is not the question. The most important thing is to present a pleasant picture. And I like this one very much. You present us the well known Blue Titt in a perfect manner and the rich details are impressive.

Kind regards

Markus

Hi Nick.
It is really pleasure to return to our TN-family and see all friends there and their amazing photos. Unfortunately, I could do this. I even did not see such beauties for months. Great scene and wonderful quality of the image. Lights, details and colours are sweet. I have selected large DOF perfectly. Even twig behind the bird is detailed nicely. Colours of the BG is huge. Bravo.

Superb picture of the Blue Tit, one of the best I have seen of this bird. The composition, the light-management and the fine colors of plumage and background make this shot special. Amazed that you have kept it so long in your archives.
Thanks and kind regards

Hello Nicholas,

This is a fine little fellow, and we have a few around my place too!
The fluffy plumage indicates this was a cold day, hehehe...
Good colours and details, the branch adds a fine diagonal in composition!
