Nice image Jack and something I have wanted to achieve for some time.

My only minor nit is the hidden tail, but I guess you have to 'play the cards dealt'.

Needs a Blue Tit Jack, the whites are a bit harsh on my laptop.

I can see where Phil is coming from, but I rather like pictures that look like the bird was photographed in a tree rather than in a studio. Not denigrating anyone, just my personal taste.
I like the way that the Bg compliments the birds's colours too.
