Willow Tit-Parus montanus Part II
Hi Guys,

As my last shot of a Willow tit gave some discussion on wether the "perch" was too big/too low etc.... .I'd thought i would post one on a much nicer perch... :

Hi Jeroen,

I like this a lot better. I particularly like the comp and greenery of it all, and a very nice BG. Don't know if you could tone down the protruding leaves a bit as I find my eye drawn towards the brightness of them?

Much better. Like the composition and the ferns frame the bird. Nice use of backlighting too.

Well done

John

Hi Jeroen

An excellent shot, the colours, the pose and the setting are all spot on. A minor nit is maybe the bird is a fraction too far right in the frame, otherwise just about perfect.

cheers
