Startled
Hi everyone, haven't uploaded much recently, been doing Aircraft :eek: . Back to normal now though :biggrin: . This is my first time out doing Birds with my new lens. A great Tit, that to me has a very startled look, hence the title. All C&C's most welcome. Many thanks,
Paul.

nice image Paul he does look startled with those big eyes, maybe a bit tight on the left hand side though but nice and sharp

Probably a low flying example of the aircraft you've been shooting has startled it. :smile: :wink: Very nice indeed.

Nice one Paul. I'm not a big fan of forward facing bird images but the inclusion of catchlights in both eyes and the startled look have certainly lifted this one.
