Blue Tit
Taken today at a feeder at the Forest of Dean.

Conditions weren't brilliant at the feeder due to tree cover blocking out any decent light.

Thanks for looking

D70 - 200mm AF-S F2 VR - (VR On)
ISO 200, F2.2, 1/60th sec
Handheld

More or less a full frame shot, slight crop to right hand side to frame with a slight sharpen using USM in CS2

Hi Vincent,

Like the composition and the perch. The BG is a lovely neutral colour, think maybe the Blue Tit colours could do with a little more saturation. Also lovely and sharp with a good catch light.

Regards

Rob

Hi Vincent

Colours look too flat. Tweak the levels and curves a bit.

cheers

Sean

Somewhere between the two, I think!

Nice shot Vince. I'd say somewhere between the two as well. Possibly just midtones?

Hi Vince

Nice shot - agree with other comments that Sean may have over cooked it a little!
