[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As you can see our little friend Blue Tit has been on a vigorous diet sticking to only seeds and fruit (definately no pies!) and as a result has lost many grams!

This fellow was perched in the Apple Tree in my garden. He/she allowed my to get very close - within a metre which is too close for my 100-400 lens to focus! I wish they would make a 100-400 Macro lens :-)

I hope you like this!

hi Joe,
très jolie capture de cette mésange, on dirait qu'elle vient de prendre un bain, cr son plumage est un peu brouillon. Excellente composition, bel éclat des couleurs.

Splendida immagine di cinciarella, ottimi POV e DOF, molto bella la composizione primaverile con i fiori di prunus e il cielo azzurro, eccellente nitidezza, splendidi i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

A fine specimen under strong illumination and from a flattering POV Joe, the contrast provided by the apple flowers and leaves, against the azure sky is nice to watch indeed!

Hello Joe,
This (dieted) Blue Tit fills the diagonal nicely. Unusual to see one from such a POV and the lighting on his head is fantastic and the sharpness couln't be better.
I like the composition with the apple blossom. Our apple tree has also started!
TFS this beauty and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hi Joe,

Beatiful photo.Lighting, composition and detail are good.Excellent colours and sharpness.

You're not kidding right? That is an apple tree? wow...You sure have some wonderful and unusual blossoms on your apple trees...Perhaps it has been a way too long time since I have been near one....Very nicely seen in the unique lighting Joey. A rather hard shot which you accomplished with ease!

Hi Joe,

The Blue Tit is looking very well. I love the composition on the diagonal branch with the pretty blossoms and the wonderful lighting and shading. The bird is beautiful with good details and colors and the picture is lovely to look at.

Hi Joe. i like the POV in the Picture so we can see the under side of the Blue Tit. I like the way its looking down at you. good detail and natural colours. against the blue sky. well done TFs.
Nick..

Joey!
This is a little wonder! This difficult POV worked perfectly! Colors and details are amazing and this spring environment is much beautiful! You had great timing to catch beautiful light in its eye. I wish we have those birds here as well, they are so lovely... This is very well done with perfect composition! Congratulations!

Joey, great eye for nature! Very well framed! Thats pretty close, you must be a very patient photographer! Although I have tried sneaking up and photographing birds, but my luck is'nt so good. Well done Joey! Cheers Josh Lewis.

Well done, Joe.
Nice light on its blue head...

Hello Joe,

What a beautiful enviroment where this little feller is. It is a lovely color combination. And what a clarity. Amazing. I like the diagonals in your composition very much. Your own words RAZORSHARP (-: Beautiful POV, DOF and BG. Well done. Regards and TFS BOB

Hi Joe,

Congratulations for running the very successful bird fit club. Very good example here, no more pies and fit for anything. Very nice pose with the apple flowers with great colours and sharp details. The 100-400 is a very good lens no matter what else you have (I will probably keep mine forever) but only with 1.8 meters minimum focus, which in fact is very good in the 400mm club.

TFS

Best wishes

Hello Joe

Love the colours and setting in this one.
Thrilled to bits to see your tits.lol.
But seriously this is postcard quality.
The blue sky makes a superb back drop for those pink blossoms.
You were so lucky to get this wonderful moment.
Excellent eye detail and catch light.
The stars and planets all aligned for this one.
TFS
