[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was again taken with my Macro 180 Sigma lens . I was pleased to get both the Blue Tit and the Great Tit in the same picture. They were looking for the nuts i had put in the old tree trunk. I have posted notes on each bird before if you wish for information . The picture was taken in the New Forest in Southern England.

Hi Nick,

Great shot of the two different Tits. I love your title. They look so cute as they search for the seeds. You captured a wonderful moment with excellent details and colors. They remind me of two little children on a scavenger hunt.

Hi Nicholas,

Very nice composition, they both look very curious and ready to find a seed as their beak are both open. Beautiful natural colours with both of them in excellent focus. They really stand out from the nice blurry background. Well done!

I ma always impressed with my Sigma glass..and of course the birds had some courtesy to stand together on theperch for you,. What a good break here..You have the "Ulla Affect"..a long story unless you have kept up..
bob

Hi Nicholas

Hi Nicholas,
I will be back with a proper critique.

Hi Nick,

Great to see the blue and great tit in the same frame - you see thhem together so often this time of year, and it's great that you managed to record it. But it's also a great picture, with both birds focussed on the same area, nice detail and colours and a very effective composition. From the top drawer.

Mike

Hi Nick,
A lovely capture of this two different birds. Seems to be friends, Excellent composition and details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hey Nick!
What a great shot of these two!
That 180mm macro is a really great lens! I'm going to get one in a few weeks! Do you find the focal length a bit short or is it fine?
Exceptional sharpness and clarity with beautiful lighting and great colours.
Good composition.
Great work!
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Nicholas!
Hehehe! What a funny title to this beautiful picture! Two species of tit during "convesration" ;) Bravo for idea and perfect final effect!
Friendly yours,
Radomir

Hi Nicholas..
You must be getting very close for these shots with that 180mm.
I like most the interaction you've captured, and the POV.
Great use of the ambient light with nice detail & color.
Well done,
Howard

Hi Nick

Well...first of all a big congratulations for your new lens! I've read very many good reviews about it and i can't wait to see how it handles on some butterflies and dragonflies in your hands :) (i'm sure you do too :o))
Now this is a terrific shot that i wasn't expecting to have been taken with a macro...but apparently it works :)
The fact that you've caught both species at the same time is absolutely great and to have them both with such impeccable details and in such good focus...now that's just fantastic! BRAVO for that!
The colors are also gorgeous and the exposure you managed here is spot-on.
So, nothing but a TOP job!

Cheers and TFS
Horia

Beautiful composition, very nice heading Nicholas, the OOF BG really enhances the scene my friend. TFS indeed!

Nicholas, Superb and very apt title. Lovely Ganesh

Hello Nick,

This is absolutely delightful! The birds look to be playing hide-and-seek!
Superb, sharp images with lovely details of feather texture and colours, and their feet! Just look how they are holding on! The light is very good!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Lol, I was down there yesterday morning with my bag of peanuts, and the birds were absolutely desperate for food where it's been cold for a could of days. I was mobbed long before I got the camera set up!

Hello Nick,
You caught these two in a great pose and relation to each other, the caption aptly describes the seeking Blue Tit and the watching great Tit.
Technically superb with fine lighting and very well composed.
Sorry i missed this one before and thanks for sharing it,
