I'm not always a fan of head-on shots of small birds, but this one works very nicely.

A really fine shot, I love this head on angle, and the detail is superb. Lovely setting too and the background colour is really nice, if I was going to find a very small nit, perhaps I would have cloned the dark oofy bit in the left hand corner. Having said that it's a smashing composition.

Certainly 'in your face' Phil. Excellent. Would have made a great 3D image.

Hi Phil
Thought I,d commented but its another "forgot to press button job !!"
Nice shot of a a bird that don't hang about. Pity the head wasn't side on but no big deal

I also prefer side-on shots but that's obviously subjective. Still a very nice shot of a very difficult subject.

Considering the techs, and that GC's just don't hang about, you did v.well here indeed, and I don't mind the head-on

Great shot of a mision impossible bird for me and nice to see a head-on shot for a change! Any photo of a goldcrest gets my vote!

Nice one Phil

Not easy these little bird. I always think they look miserable and sad
