Tufted Titmouse in Flight

[Ryan Schain]

I noticed this Tufted Titmouse hovering next to a flimsy branch attempting to pluck off an acorn. It did this several times, so I realized the potential and set up on the branch, and finally filled the frame with it and got a wing position I liked.

This is an excellent image Ryan.
Nice and sharp where it counts and great BG.
I like the amount of wing blur as well.
Good light as well.
You made the most of this opportunity! Well done,
Gail

Terrific image all around. Sharp where it needs to be. Love the pose, the color combo and the BG.

[Steve Wasson]

Very sweet! Great pose & head angle.

[Lorant Voros]

Nice action shot, sharp where needed and good eye contact.

[Yves Guillot]

Nicely catched! Nice light and BG. Unusual sight for me in this pose for this species.

Great photo of this small bird in flight!
Maybe a more traditional 3:2 crop?
I like how it is just coming out of the shadow.
Very nice work.

Wing blur adds life to this one and the important head region is super sharp, love that eye and smooth backdrop

[Daniel Cadieux]

Opportunity well seen. Sharp where it needs to be, and good comp. I'd have preferred the upper left of the image not be so dark, and I wish more of the belly and feet had been uncovered, but still a very strong, and difficult to pull off, image.

[Satish Ranadive]

Excellent image.Very nice lights and color scheme.Nice and sharp where it counts and great BG. Love it.

Regards,
Satish.

Not an easy one to get and I think you did great. The light on the face is nice.

Wow Ryan, I have waited patiently for hours hoping to get a shot of one of these sitting on a branch without a terribly busy background or branches in front...and you get one in flight! I am duly impressed. Well done.

Best regards,
Dennis
