Hi Philip,
I prefer this one over the previous one.

Hi Phil
I have to say I much prefer the first post.
None of the Tits look attractive " head on" in my opinion.
Cheers

Really nice shot but have to agree with John on this, I'd prefer the bird to looking into the frame but you can't have everything on every occasion so nice work.

I like the slightly inquisitive pose. Very good shot :toast:

still not sure phil, try catching him in a more dynamic pose, just before take off or if they spot some food etc, diagonals work well ie tail up etc. some people may say the perch is a little big for the bird what do you think?

I prefer this version Phil, and agree with Adam's 'inquisitive' comment :toast:

I also prefer this one Phil and agree with Adam. Might be tempted to clone out the catchlight in the water droplet just to the rear of its right eye (our left) as it looks a bit like its winking at us! :wink:
