Merhaba Ivan,
Our friend, James is quicker than me:) This post just appeared on TN, but I was busy excellent photograph of this very beautiful tit. You present it with a perfect capture, POV, composition, sharp focus. Eye contact great. Bluish BG, frame of green pine branches also great. As I see, last weekend was great for you. I think you took it yesterday.
thanks for showing us this cute tit, single Parus species in Europe doesnt occur in Turkiye
PS: not only James, some other friends also:)
Best wishes

Hello Ivan,
what a splandid capture. Congratulations with the scarce sunny moments. I hope you will get many more of them.
The crested tit is very high on my want-to-take-a-picture-of list. You did a great job! what I escpecially like is the background colours. I makes the picture vivid.

Hello Ivan,
Your fine composition of a Tit prior to take-off is really a feast to a nature lovers eyes. The natural daylight without a strong sun provided enough illumination to capture great detail, both in coloration and in plumage characteristics, in sharp focus. And that lead colored to bluish background, together with the sharply rendered pine needles and cones, enhance an already fine nature shot. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us.
Yours,
Mehmet

Hi Ivan. Yes some sun make all the difference. We have an area like where you took this fine close up. I must try to go soon. You use the sun light to its best to give good natural looking colours. and your sharp focusing has given fine detail.the brown eyes look very good indeed. very well done TFS. Nick..

PS
I saw two Butterflies yesterday in the forest but did not get a shot.

Hi Ivan

I'm very happy for you, my friend! Finally some sun you well deserved :)
And the results did not hesitate to appear: what splendid shots of this lovely crested tit!
This is a very beautiful species and you managed to get two outstanding shots here! The details are remarkable in both of them and the great natural light made sure that all the gorgeous colors looked as wonderful as ever.
Spot-on exposure and DOF - as we've come to get used to when it comes to your photos.
Great work, Ivan!

Bravo and TFS
