This Great Tit was very noticible amongst the other Great Tits that were visiting the feeding station.

I hope I have done him justice.

D70 - 600mm AF-S F4
ISO 200, F5, 1/250sec

Thanks for looking, off out now to get wet

Lovely shot. Nice detail, pose and composition.

It seems to have a slightly green cast on my monitor.

Otherwise excellent IMO.

I see what you mean now you have mentioned it Michael. thanks for mentioning it. I think I need to set the WB on the D70

Here I have used the saturation tool to remove some of the greens, is this better?

I've had pale Great Tits down at my woodland feeders before, I think they may be from a northern race (NE Europe) and are coming SW for the winter

lovely soft light

Nicely done Vince!

I didn't know you also owned a D70, but ive found that setting the wb to flash seems to cover most lighting conditions very nicely, with this particular camera.
