Wanted to move away from the typical silver birch shot associated (photographically) with this species.

Cheers,

The bird stands out superbly from the bluey-grey background and the lichen covered perch works great. :toast:

Can't weigh this one up.
Looks bright and blue on my monitor but when checked only shows a slight tend towards blue.
Interesting shot though

I like the composition and pose in this, something a little bit different. It does look very bright on my monitor though. Nice details.

Now is it not amazing as to how you can make a common bird in terms of photography and turn it into a lovely but different image.
