Long tail Tit
My first half descent pic of a Long tail Tit.. i really like the colours in this bird, very pink.
this pic if virtually full frame, so there is crop potential.

Either crop or clone or mix and match the B.g. branch and you have a completely different shot here.

The L.T. Tit is right on the money. Excellent capture.

Hi,

Dont crop, dont clone leave it as is, its a great shot showing a little enviro. In my humble opinion it would look too sterile if you manipulated it, unless of course it was going to be used in a mag or similar as purely a pic of a LTT. As Ray says though its an excellent capture, and I hear what he says about it being a different shot if you did.

A cracking shot Mark, the details in the bird are spot on & I like the image as is.

Lovely composition and detail. I agree the second branch is a distraction, but my experience with these is it is almost impossible to get a clean shot. (They don't come to feeders for me)
