Very nice John, perhaps a touch more contrast?

Hi John, very nice picture of this tit. Specially the glare in his/her eye gives this picture what it must have.
Lovely shot.

that's nice John, the repost does have a bit more punch.

Prefer the repost John certainly makes the crest stand out. Little fella certainly having a good old bathe must have a few pesky mites.

I don't think it's overly central John. The main body of the bird could be considered close to central but the eye position is what I would look at first and I would be happy with that.
