Coal Tit On Funghi
A very hard little bird to photograph for me , after hours in a freezing hide and binning about 100 shots this is the best.Ive just noticed that the very bottom edge of the Funghi is not in the frame which is a little annoying!

Good composition and some nice autumnal light you have here. I do find that the fungi is a little dominant in the frame and perhaps draws more attention than the subject itself.. Some super detail where it counts.

I would perhaps, in the name of dominance, crop out the fungi a little.

A lovely dappled background and well composed. I certainly wouldnt beat myself up over the bottom of the fungus but I have to agree with Brett that it does compete with the subject for my attention.

Nice autumnal shot, I wouldn't worry about chopping the bottom of the fungi off, as it does compete with the bird. It's a shame the bird didn't land more side on, but what can you do?! I like the fact he's calling. Looks like you've got a great set up here, so keep at it!

The bird and the bg are lovely jury out on the fungi.

Nice overall composition and lighting here. Fungus is a bit dominating though.
