The Humble Blue Tit
I have been out of circulation over the last few days, so I got back in the saddle today in my garden photographing the much maligned Blue Tit.

I forgot just how beautiful they are.

Canon 40D, Canon 500mm f4 lens, F4, 1/200sec, ISO 640

I don't think these are maligned - just overlooked.

It's a good shot, and deserves praise. :toast:

Hi Ron
The pose, sharpness etc is spot on but the bird is just too blue. If you use your eye/colour picker on the cheek patch, the blue content is almost double what it should be. . Shame as its a lovely position etc.
Cheers
