Blue Tit
Another feeder bird I'm afraid, but I haven't had access to such a feeder setup before and making the most of it at present :wink:
Dared to use ISO 400 and it's alright. I think if I try and drag too much from shadows, or there's quite contrasty colours, the noise creeps in.

Taken a few weekends ago.

Comments appreciated. Maybe a bit big in the frame for some?

This is a lovely image in every way.

Sharp from top to toe, very colourful and a great composition.
Perfect size in the frame for me.
I love the soft light.

I don't think it gets much better than this

Nice image Graeme - sometimes the soft light that forces ISO 400 can really add to the quality of an image.

stop it, you're killing me with these great shots and that bg is just fantastic - really makes the shot come alive...

dont normally like square crops but I think it works well here and the comp is perfect.
