Oooooo ! - I bet that hurts !
Blue Tit
Very noisy image taken in appalling light. Lots of neat image and bluring. Just liked the stretch.
Usual window setup.

I don't know why you would think that your BOAS images are predictable John. I never saw that one coming.
Great shot.

Thanks all.
I must admit this one is not really a posing BOAS is it ? :biggrin:
Just wish it had been a bit sharper.

Might be whimsical but its a lovely lovely composition too - the balance of the bird is balanced by the balance of the overall comp (sorry for all those balances!) - and the lighting is really good as well.

Reminds me of a girl I used to know . . . . she like nothing more than to hang around in trees doing the splits. :biggrin:

Thanks for the light relief John.

Cheers,

You and your Tits John. I love images like this. Maybe we could have a "comical shot of the month". Would be something different and if it puts a smile on peoples faces it can't be bad. :wavey:
