Hello Nicholas,
Impressive picture. Great details on plumage. Crisp clear and this Blue Tit perfectly isolate from background.
Best regards Siggi

Hi Nicholas,

I remember seeing a couple more photos of this beautiful bird in your collection. What most surprises me is the excellent approach. Makes it easy to feel the volume and texture of the bird. It is a highly successful photographic work, and the bird is in a pose simply and beautiful.

I hope you do well these two weeks working, and you have time to take some pictures.

Greetings and happy weekend for you too!

Hi Nick.
Wonderful subject. I like image of the cute tit against the tree trunk and on an impressive small twig. Details of all parts of the bird are terrific. Magnification level is great and I fell myself next to this charming birdy. Bravo. Well done.

Hello Nick,
A nice side view of a Blue Tit that has raised his head feathers almost as if he has a crest.
Nice lighting, sharpness and BG with the features well shown as always.
Thanks and have a good weekend as well, with a chance to take some more pics during your time off.
All the best
Ivan

Hi Nick,
whenever I see your shots I'm sure I also have to buy another lens. The canon is very sharp as I can see here. I love to have the Canon 100-400 - but it's very expensive.
And you also have good light for high exposure.
This tit is very cute, thanks and greetings

I like the crisp sharpness here and a very well chosen POV with very well maintained DOF. beautiful natural can be seen in this great work. A great contrast can be seen between the colors of the bird and the surroundings.

Beautiful composition!
