Blue Tit

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted March 29, 2011190 views15 comments

One from this morning, Blue Tit sat on a King Alfred's Cake. I think I'm correct in the fungi ID, but if I'm not then the correct ID would be appreciated.

1/250th @ f5.6 -1/3rd iso1250 ( 75% of FF, Set up perch, OOF tree in the BG removed, and two bags of sunflower seeds used to pay Mr Blue Tit to sit on that bloody fungus

)

Thanks for the feedback on my last post and thanks for looking.

Excellent Andy

Maybe just a bit too central but thats minor.

I am surprised that after 2 bags of sunflower seed he has not crushed the fungi

Fine shot Andy.
Composition works for me and the fungi adds an extra element of interest.

Delightful!
Great, sharp little bird, good colors and perch, and that fungus adds a lot of extra interest.
Well-done!

Hi Andy

Love the image although the colours look a little subdued - did you save in sRGB.

Hi David,

Yes, I always convert to sRGB for web use, but I know what you mean about the colours as they do look a little flat, and to be honest I thought it was down to poor light at the time of shooting. Maybe reprocessing is in order.

I'm glad you told us it was standing on a fungus, I thought at first it had badly swollen feet
