Blue Tit
Evening everyone. An image of a Blue Tit taken last Friday morning, I've been itching to get out, but unfortunately broke my right hand over Christmas. Not a good thing to do!! All coments and critiques are most welcome. :wavey:

Canon EOS 7D, Sigma 150-500mm lens.

Cracking shot Paul - one slight nit is that it's cropped a bit tight at the bottom of the frame.

Great light and looks pin sharp :wavey:

Does the lichen actually belong on the twig/perch?

Cracking little shot Paul, BG works extremely well considering how colourful Blue Tits are. Agree with Andy about the crop. Although looking at it on the laptop, might add a bit more in curves too, just to 'pop' it out?

Lovely portrait Paul, the background colours work well with the bird. Just a bit tight at the bottom as already said. :smile:

A lovely portrait Paul. It's been done so well it could almost be a studio portrait posed by a paid model. Cracking shot.
