Long Tailed Tit
Room window time again.
Not keen on perch but was there for something else.
I,ve said many times that often some birds look funny photographed head on. This is about the first LTT I,ve done straight on that hasn,t looked daft

One of the very best Long-tailed shots John, lovely pose - just right and the background is special.

Like the pose in this shot and the background tones really help to make the bird stand out,

A lovely capture John
Might be worth getting rid of the 2 loose ends of barbed wire ?
Well done.
Geoff.

Hi John,
Nice image. The barbwire gives it a different look opposite to the normal perch.
May be you can remove the little aend of the barbwire on the left. Certainly not remove the right one. It just looks like it belongs there.

Thanks all .
I left the right hand bits for balance and never noticed the left side one !
After my last efforts I think I'll leave it
Cheers

Bits of wire removed. I don't like it myself but will be interesting to see.

I think its much improved John.

First one is definitely better for me. The bits of barbed wire somehow balance the image I feel.
Great stuff.
