Hi Nicholas!

I'm sure your daughter liked this present and dedication! I'm also sure that she knows what a great photographer her daddy is. Again, you present us your favourite subject (do I guess correctly?) with perfect details and a great light- and colour management.

Give a hug to your daughter and let me wish her all the best!

Kind regards

Hi Nick,

A lovely birthday present for Kelly - and she was allowed to choose it for herself so we know she loves it. She has good taste - I like this Blue Tit too. I love the pose and the way it is staring right at the camera. Beautiful colors, sharp details, fine background and composition. Happy Birthday Kelly!

A perfect picture, Nick, just so lovely. I don't have much time anymore to critique and post on TN but I come and have a look almost every day. I will leave some comments once in a while and you picture is so perfectly shot, with the beautiful colours and the sharpness right on the bird leaving the background smooth and soft, thanks a lot and happy birthday Kelly!

I have a daughter, only one out of 7 children...and my girl is a nurse and she has shown me the right way so many times Nick...she is a nurse and has been for 6-7 years now..with a good reputation...she doesn't even see my images...and she tells me to keep the camera off of her. perhaps I shall post her image here on your workshop...we love our children and they are the ones who put words to our images...and in your case...so well.

Excellent detail, color, exposure, POV, DOF, and the centered comp is perfect for this Nicholas..Perhaps a bit less space top?
What could be better? Some BG NR would make the subject stand out even better..
But alas, I'm picking on you..A no no here at TN ;}
Well done,
Howard

Hi Nicholas

Super shot of this lovely little blue tit. The details are just great (wow) as the impressive aperture gave you a wonderful range to capture all the intricate details of the plumage. Lovely colour saturation and the BG is superb to make the subject stand out splendidly in the image.

Well done and TFS.

Hello Nicholas,

A excellent POV and very sharp image whit great details in the plumage. I like these pose from the Tit. Usually you see one side of a bird. A here pose on the diagonal branche is wonderful.

I think and I'm sure that your daughter liked this present and dedication (-:

Have a nice weekend and a very nice day at your daughters birthday. Greetings and TFS BOB
