Spent couple hours at the lake this morning,seems to be lots of long tailed tits about at the moment.

Heavy crop and few twigs cloned in photoshop CS2

Quite splendid Barrie, loads of detail, perhaps a bit over cooked.

Hi Barrie

Cracking shot of a difficult bird - I would have preferred a little more canvas around the bird, but still very nice!

Nicely done Barrie,

Difficult birds to frame effectively when side-on and large in the frame {as with grey wags also}, but its well detailed and a very decent result in my book.

Hi Barrie

Great shot, a tad more space in front would be nice. :toast:

Hi Barrie

A great composition. I would agree it looks a fraction over bright, try turning it down a bit.

Background is a bit 'busy' but not a significant distraction. Never managed a shot of these delightful birds myself.

cheers
