Blue Tit

[Rich Steel]

Hi

I decided to try the MkIV on a small bird for the first time to see how it performed. It is making me look foward to the arrival of the spring migrants!

Taken with 1DmkIV with 500mm lens and 25mm ext tube at ISO 400 F6.3 at I/640s.

Looks like you should be very pleased with your new tool, Richard. Excellent sharpness, plus good pose, comp, exposure, and background. Well done.

Looks good Rich. I'm sure you'll enjoy the new toy...

Beautiful image of this fella. I would consider lightening the iris ever so slightly. Perch is borderline thick, but has nice colouration. Awesome BG!

[Bryan Hix]

I like everything about it. Color, sharpness, pose, BG. All very good. I would love to have these guys around here.

Gorgeous! Mark 4 looks very promising...;)
Just a slight boost in levels and contrast.

Image quality is to die for. Ofer's repost looks great. Love the killer pose and details. I agree about the perch being slightly thick for this little friend.

Great one Rich - beautiful colours abd terrific detail - wish you hadn't told me it was a Mk 1V!!!:eek:

[Markus Jais]

Great tit shot. I like everything here, the light, the colors, the perch and the head angle.
