Oak Titmouse Set-up

[Aidan Briggs]

It's been a while. I've been very busy and haven't gone shooting for at least a couple weeks now. Nothing new so here's one from last summer. I had a bunch of titmice on apple perches, but wanted something to show their more typical pine/oak habitat. The light was what it was...

Nice shot Aidan, BG colors and details all nice. I would tone it down a tad and maybe a slightly tighter crop. TFS

I love the alert look and the detail. I agree about the crop.

[Doug Brown]

A little bright but otherwise very nice.

Hi Aidan, I like how he is posing proud of the surrounding foliage on the perch. Good exposure, and good eye too. If anything, I would take a slither off the bottom.

Thanks everyone for all the comments. I didn't want to crop it any tighter because I didn't want to cut off the needles, and also to show a bit of it's environment (even though it was a set-up)

Nice setup. I agree with Doug about it being a tad bright.
