Singing In The Rain
Morning everyone. I think this is an approriate image for today. A Great Tit caught singing in the rain. All C&C's are most welcome. Thanks for looking,
Paul. :wavey:

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

F6.3, 1/200 sec, ISO 400, @340mm.

They work so hard this time of year and you have to respect them for that.. Quite an emotive shot and I think a little lift in the levels might just add a little more life to the image on this miserable day and help bring just a tad more detail to the black areas...

That grey background sums up the day very nicely.

Gosh he does look wet doesn't he

The image does need a tad more in levels to bring out a bit more detail in the blacks.

The grey background sums up the day :toast:

The streaks of rain are well caught and agree with above regarding a little lift. I also think on this one the crop could be just a little bit tighter.

Looks fine to me, very atmospheric.

Yep, that's today alright (mostly everywhere by the sound of it). I agree with the lift in the levels but be careful not to lose the faint streaks of rain in the adjustment as they add so much. :toast:

just needs a lift in the shadows as stated above for me.

Is he singing or is he moaning about the weather?He could be the Victor Meldrew of the great tit world for all we know!
Nit mentioned for a super little portrait for a miserable day.
