Hi,

After teasing me for some time these charismatic little balls of fluff on a stick have decided to visit my feeders :jump:

Weekend was ever so dull grey and wet, shutter speed was right down so pleased to get a few sharp images of these....

All the best

Phil

It is a lovely image.

I like the green lichen on the branch.

Lovely shot, the green lichen really sets it off along with the clean background. I'd be a happy chap with this in my collection :smile:

Very pretty, I just feel the eye needs a touch more USM. Excellent shot though.

Sweet! :toast: Superb everything!! impressed with your ability to get this with 1/60th!! I challenge anyone to get the whites on the top of the head exposed properly... I haven't managed it on a grey day either, so there's no chance when the sun's out :wink:

Superb Phil :toast:

High quality shot.
Who needs the 500s eh!
I was interested to hear that your 400 front focuses, I got a replacement for mine because it was back focusing, not sure that the new one isn't front focusing now, but if it is it is very marginal,

Hi Phil

Nicely done. Lovely pose and colour, well done in the conditions. Maybe just sharpen up the eye a fraction. :toast:

I haven't had any of these in my garden this year... :frown:

cheers

A really fine shot Phil of this gorgeous friendly little bird.I really like that rain soaked perch which really captures the wonderful saturated colour of those green lichens.
