Hello Nicholas, very nice composition and a very sharp picture of the Tit. Great technique too. The only little thing would be the slightly OE white on the bird. Well done my friend!

Hi Nick,

Lovely shot of the Coal tit, I wish I could fine examples like this whilst browsing my files.
Very nicely composed with a lovely pose.
Excellent feather details and a nice catchlight in the eye.
Superb colours and lighting too.

Hil

Hello Nick
still cheer,
I do not know any more what to say, because they all are very beautiful: your birds.
Thank you
in a friendly way
Laurent

I missed your previous post, so here I am, Nicholas.
Gosh, you have such briliiant captures waiting for your attention in your archives?
This is a super sharp and beautifully composed picture of a Coal Tit.
Thanks for sharing it and warm regards.
Ram

Hi Nick,

SUPERB shot
Excellent compo, POV, DOF, BG, colors, sharpness and details
Lovely catchlight

TFS Thijs

Fantastic shot. Perfect DOF, all of the bird is extremely sharp and just beyond starts to blur straight away, and the background is almost just a single colour. Can't help thinking that the composition could be improved, possibly with a little crop on the right.
