Another Blue one!
Still at my feeder trying to improve on my Blue Tit shots. A pose that I haven't had a shot of until now. Taken a couple of weeks ago in Devon. Sunshine was quite sporadic hence the techs :rolleyes: BG pattern may be distracting to some?

Comments appreciated

techs:
1d2, 500/4is + 1.4x, 1/1000th, f8, ISO 250, -0.67ev, spot, asb1,g1325 sidekick, sharpening, levels, saturation and cropped to 70%

Nice shot Graeme, tack sharp detail and a great pose :toast:

Yep - the 'boomerangs' in the bg are a bit distracting.

Great shot all the same.

Regards

Andy

The blue tit is very nice.

I personally find the stems/twigs in the BG a little distracting. I prefer them to be either more OOF so there are no hard edges or be more infocus so we get a sense of the habitat.

I like the soft colours in the blue tit and all the feather detail.
And the pose shows their acrobatic nature off very well.

Nice one!!
