Taken recently whilst out & about with the camera checking the feeding stations I have dotted around.

Couldn't resist taking a bit of time out getting more shots of these cracking little birds.

The background I do like on this shot as I think its very complimentary to the birds plumage.

This shot is more or less full frame with very little done to it in CS except cropping slightly to frame it & a bit of sharpening in areas.

D2X - 400mm AFS using vehicle as a hide
ISO 100, F6.7, 1/350sec
This was taken as a jpeg as are all of my shots, just cannot get used to using Raw

Hi Vincent

Excellent. Top notch image. Superb detail and colour in the Blue Tit. A good time of year to photograph these birds as they are in top condition at the moment. I bird is perfectly posed on the branch as well.

cheers
