Great Tit
Hello everyone, hope you are all well! I thought I'd upload a photo of a Great Tit, taken in some awfull lighting and weather conditions, as the weather has changed for the better, Lol :biggrin:

Canon EOS 7D, Sigma 150-500mm lens

f6.3, 1/160sec, ISO 800, @313mm :wavey:

I like the BKGR Paul and the streaks of rain work well. The bird looks sharp enough on the eye but the DOF understandably has dropped off quickly, not covering the tail. I might crop some off the RHS.

Nice pose, Paul, but even accepting the adverse conditions it needs a lift to make it pop.

I'm afraid for me Paul the image is reflecting the conditions ie. quite flat.

It does indeed need a bit of a lift, but its a nice sharp shot of the bird and with a cracking background. Must get into these larch cones !!
