Hi Guys,
Been a while since i last posted over here as our son was born 4 weeks ago and since then i have had no time at all to go out..
This morning at 05.00 hours after changing some nappies again i decided to take the car and drive to one of my favourite spots to shoot Bearded Tits as it is their time again..
I was lucky enough to get some decent shots and this is one of them..
Greetings,

Really good looking image Jeroen. Great pose and compostion.
Very, very nice indeed. The background colour compliments the bird wonderfully.
Love the upright pose and the overall bright and colourful feel of the image.

Lovely image! I went looking for these once and saw a silhouette for a few seconds only. It maybe could do with a little darkening but I'm not sure.

Good work

Good shot. But I think the bird get lost in de BG a little because the colours are rather similar
.
Congrats on the newborn.

Jeroen,which I reckon could be better with the gamma dropped a bit. Could do with a little "guts"
Excellent shot whatever.
