Grand little chap.

Thanks John and Robert.I would really like people on the forum to tell me there opinions on my pictures i notice a lot of looking( thanks for them) but no comments i don't mind them even if they are bad at least i would know where i am going wrong and will learn from them.
Robert thanks for yours but this is how the bird looks all i did was to add a little fill flash and a little usm on resize but i am very interested in your comment and must admit they do look a little unatural,this is one of the reasons i posted this bird.
thanks for looking
Everything looks fine with this shot to me; except that the bird is such a bizarre colour. It looks like a long tailed blue tit with the red and green channels deleted
I would imagine that this species would clash with most backgrounds. I can't see anything to fault in your picture, and I think this subject would be very hard to get a pleasing shot of, just because of its colour, so you have done well I'd say. eric
Stunning shot Keith - it's a beautiful bird.
I think we all get loads of looks and few comments - I understand there are lots of non UKNP members who looks at the site., at least that's what I tell myself!!
If it's crit you are looking for Keith there's not much to say - yes it's a bit central, but with that long tail sticking out there's not a lot you can do, except perhaps not be quite so close - image just needs a bit extra on the right to take the eye off the centerline - if you want super-picky crit that is.
What a superb little bird - wish our wrens looked like that
I know the feeling about comments and looking. I don't normally photograph birds (I haven't the patience or inclination to sit in hides for hours on end.) but I know what I like and this is one image I do like. Very nice indeed.
I’ve got to say that when I first looked at this picture, I checked the date to make sure it wasn’t April the first. It looks for the entire world like a Blue Tit that has been fighting with a blue felt tip pen! Having said that it’s a charming shot of a delightful little bird.
