Nice Blue Tit Geoffry but to be honest my eye goes to the Oak apples. Including them has meant the bird is a little too far to the right, Just my opinion others will not aggree.
Cheers

Hello Geoff.

Super Blue tit and detail and love the angle you have captured.

Have to agree with Johns comments but the Blue tit is excellent.

A good angle showing the birds underside off very well. I'm a little undecided on the perch, on the one hand it adds an extra element of interest, but on the other hand, the Oak apples perhaps draw the eye a little too much and slightly visually compete with the bird.

I'm with the others on this one Geoffrey - the perch is a bit too dominant (although certainly interesting in its own right.)
