Long Tailed Tit
First I would like to thank those who offered me very supportive advice the otherday, Thank you:toast:

Had a very pleasant day today where this abliging LTT sat for a few seconds to pose for me. This was taken today at a location I frequently visit for peace & quiet.

Not my best but likeable I think even though a bit tight in the frame, cropped to take out distracting bits :biggrin:

Comments & critique appreciated :toast:

Lovely portrait, and I like the lichen-covered perch.

Hi Vince,

Glad you feel a bit better. Sometimes its very hard to motivate yourself (especially if you are self-employed). I think you have a great technique. All your passerines seem to be very sharp, really well exposed and have superbly clear backgrounds. As has been said before, if this is your calibre on a 'down day'... can't wait to see an 'up day' image :toast:

Wish my LTT's were half as good.

Hi Vince

Another impressive shot. No nits from me in this photograph, you certainly have mastered the art of the 'small bird on a twig' image judging by the quality of your recent posts.

cheers
