That's a bit special Mark. That landing is going to hurt

Great stuff.

Hi Mark, looks like you have got to grips with the Tits at last.

Agree with Ian, re gorse clone

Hi Mark,

Great image. Hate to nitpick but something cathes my eye towards the upper right corner. Otherwise spot on.

Excellent image, I love the wings. I would maybe crop more to get rid of the top right hand gorse.

Brilliant shot Mark. Love the perfectly captured bird, the spikey perch and the lovely graduated background. I cannot see how this could be improved upon in any way.

Nit already mentioned but a cracking shot

Posted by Andy Snape on January 12, 2010 at 1:03 PM

Nits!!!! Liked it when i first saw it, taking off is one thing but predicting the landing I think is another level, cracker mate.

Fabulous shot.

That takes some doing to get a crisp detailed BTIF like that. I can't bear to think about the landing - glad it's not me.

Here's your 25 matey!

Another belting BIF Mark - keep 'em coming!

Posted by Ian Butler on January 13, 2010 at 1:18 PM

Super shot mark. Its amazing what sort of shutter speeds you can get in the snow and you're definately using them to the full advantage.

Posted by Guy Rogers on January 14, 2010 at 12:52 PM

Hello Mark.

I liked the GT one alot and this just as good and well done on getting one so perfeclty placed.

Great Shot.

Posted by Mark Sisson on January 15, 2010 at 3:59 AM

Very nice sir - bet there were a few misses too (always is with this sort of stuff) but the one hit you need is well worth it!!
