Blue Tit in blossom
Canon 40D, Canon 100-400L, F8, 1/250, iso 200, Tripod.

I dont normaly go for the square crop for nature images, but I thought the flowers made a nice triangle. And the square crop worked well on this one. Thanks for looking. :wavey:

A nice image but I'd be tempted (if possible) to actually make it square.

Beautiful presentation, Guy. Only thing is that I think I would prefer the tit too look to the let! :wink:

Very nice... but I too am concerned very slightly by the fact the bird is looking out of the image....

Lovely shot Guy. Although I would also prefer to have the bird looking into the picture I think the blossom does help to balance the overall image and I for one would be well pleased to have taken this.

Vivid to say the least Guy :toast: :toast:

Personally I'd crop the vertical component right out due to the birds eyeline, and perhaps de-saturate it a tad :wavey:

What an eye-catching image and you couldn't wish for a more attractive setting. Love the way the Blue Tit is sat right in the middle of the empty space between all the flowers.
Excellent job of keeping everything sharp too.

Nicely framed image. Nits mostly covered. i just thinkl that the bird looks a little over-saturated, but still very nice.
