A Blue Tit taken from my hide out in the yard.

I'd like to thank everyone for the helpful comments I've received on my photos this year, I've learned a lot.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

Very well done, I love the BG and the lovely colors on the bird. My only nit is I wish the end of the perch looked a little more natural.

Terrific Geoffrey! What a great background to go with a beautiful bird.

Very nice. The bird is quite intense and the simple background suits it well. The whites are well handled.

Simple and sweet Geoff. Love the colors and nice composition. I don't think you could have managed much more DOF for the perch in these conditions.

A simple comp with beautiful lines created by the perch and the bird. Wonderful, natural colors throughout. Very nice Geoffrey.
