[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today a shot made yesterday in our garden,just before the great tit took off,I must say that this shot was not planned when the great tit was sitting on this branch I wanted to take this shot,but when I fired away the tit just flew away,maybe a reason why not all off the wings are visible,anyway I like the shot as the head and the feet are still motionless only the wings are blurred of action,Thanks for watching and have a great week,

Hi Paul,

Hi Paul,
Very nice action shot. Cute little bird well captured and seen. Exposure, sharpness, pov, dof are great. Very well done.

Delightful action shot, Paul! I like it.
The take off position is very well captured with the bird's head bent low against the branch. That blur of fluttering wings makes this picture a pleasure to behold.
TFS and bye.

Wow Paul,
This is a very nice shot! I like it very much. Yes, it is too bad that the whole wings are not there but it is a really good catch anyway. I like the details you caught and this beautiful pose from the bird, colors and BG. Well done! I tryed to catch some birds too yesterday but the same thing happened to me, they just flew away when I pressed the shutter button :( TFS,

bonjour paul
dommage qu'il manque un petit bout d'ails car la netteté et les details sont restés tres bons malgrés le mouvement de la mesange.

Hi Paul,
Greatly capturing this cute little bird. Superb DoF, sharp and neat. Blurry wings give sense of movement. [Paul, I am planning to buy this alpha 100, how is it?]

That is a cute one,Paul.
It looks like he is trying to keep his balance on that branch.

Great shot Paul, when I try this I am usually left with just the branch as an image. Beautiffuly sharp with the wings showing the birds movement well.
