They are very pretty birds. It's just personal taste but I think it might be better if the tit was more in profile bringing the detail in the birch into focus. Having said that it is nice the way the bird is looking round the tree. Perhaps you could sacrifice a bit of speed for more DOF. Can you get those blown whites back in the NEF processing?

Cheers

A tad low on the “perch”,\and I do hope you have managed to get more in profile, think laterally and it will happen..

Lighting doesn’t quite look right, no shadows, otherwise a very nice capture.

These are great fun to chase and this is a lovely image. I prefer the composition of the repost.
