This is my first post on this forum. I visited this place a lot to enjoy the stunning pictures. Here is one of my contributions.

I was taking shots of the Blue Tit en Coal Tit when this fellow appeared on the scene. Hope you like it.

Welcome Edwin

This is a fine shot of a cracking species, on my monitor it's a little soft in places around the eye but apart from that minor nic its a corker of a shot

Welcome on board

I think Tom sums it up

After capturing the shot, comes presenting it on the web... tough job as I'm finding out!!

Look forward to some more postings.... a little USM would help here.

Welcome and a very nice image, a little soft round the head, and it would have been nice, if the bird had co-operated mind, to have a little more of the body profile.... but still a good image.

Hi Edwin

Welcome to the forum, nice shot with a great OOF BG. Agree with the other comments re 'a little soft' Have you got good numbers of Brambling this year as it is a few years since I have seen a good size flock in my part of the UK!

Hi Edwin, welcome a board

Nice image, where I particularly like the inclusion of needles.

Hi Edwin - a cracker to start with - all the minor nits have already been mentioned. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
