Hi
Not been able to get out doors much recently, however "grabbed a day" and was able to capture a few images. This Willow Tit is a regular visitor to my feeders. Taken with a D200 & 70-300mm lens, hand held.

Hi Dave,

no smaller image for some reason. The larger image looks a little soft,perhaps a little more sharpening needed? Not a species I get up here.

Nick. :smile: :wavey: :toast:

Hi Nick, still learning the "ropes" did not realise I could post a smaller image as well. Perhaps it could do with a little "sharpening" thanks for taking the time to comment :wavey: Have new camera and lens coming next week so hoping to get a lot of practice in.... :toast:

Don't think it is that soft though would stand some sharpening, main issue is the BG would suggest providing some purchases around the feeders with clean backdrops as I think the green is dominating this too much ... just a thought :toast: :toast: :toast:

I agree with Phil and perhaps a little big in the frame. Stick at it Dave :wink:
