Great Tit

[Jonathan Michael Ashton]

This is another shot of a Great Tit trying to pull some wool off the barbed wire fence. His eye is slightly open but you can imagine he was pulling like crazy so he was squinting a bit! He was going at it for several minutes and did manage to get some in the end.

Great complimentary background to the colour of the bird and nice action. It looks like you are suffering from some focus point and subject movement problems with the head, wing and tail OoF. Focus point looks like the right leg but the F4.5 is not giving you enough DoF.

The BG and bird in action is great as is the composition and exposure. I agree with John on the point of focus. Without that, it's just not sharp.
