Hi Peter,

Nicely captured, the Blue Tit's wing position looks great and your choice of comp looks about right, my only nit is that cluttered BG, but I appreciate you take what you can get with shots of this nature. Also, I might be tempted to drop the sats a touch.

Love the position of the Blue Tit and the composition :toast: :toast: agree about toning the sats down a bit, and the bg is a bit cluttered, although I'd be chuffed to have this shot

Shame its had 109 views and only 2 comments...

Hi Peter, can only echo whats already been said, great positioning and you have done well to get a pin sharp head while the wings convey the sense of movement. Agree about the background but often you can't control this! :toast:

Hello Peter.

Never mind the background what a superb capture.

The composition and the pose you have captured couldnt have been better.

Yes a different background would be better, i love the action and it is a bit oversaturated. Still a great shot!
