Not much to post at the moment so I thought I would post this delightful Long Tailed Tit. I posted this sometime ago in landscape mode, so this time I thought I would try it out in portrait mode.
Thanks for looking

Hi Vince,
Don't remember seeing this first time round. Sharp as tack with great colours and a cracking BG, also love the Lichen covered perch.
Regards
Rob

Cant remember this one either.

Very nice.
It almost looks completely round from this angle.
I like the vertical format and soft light.

The Subject, the perch and the BG are all top notch. Excellent.

Hi Vincent
Nice shot. Good pose and shooting angle. Image looks slight flat to me, a small tweak to levels/curves would help.
cheers

Great shot Vincent!!! Is that an orange eyelid it has? The birds ya'll have in the UK are so colorful...
I love browsing this forum everyday
Nice one Vince, these birds are certainly endearing and charismatic.... agree with Sean that perhaps a slight boost in contrast and perhaps a bit more saturation would help an otherwise pleasing image... chossing the point of focus is difficult in this situation but I think in this case I would have focused a bit further in, just to crispen up the outline a touch (I'm a bit of a manual focus freak)...

It's a tennis ball in drag
Nice!! Love the perch. Noticed some of these have yellow eye-lids and some red...any ideas why?
