Great looking Tit, Frank. I like the pose, DOF, and the smooth muted background.

An exquisite little tit Frank - I like the image quality here and the simple composition - what is the BG?

[Frank Schauf]

@all, thank you.

John, the background is a water surface.

[Marina Scarr]

Very nicely exposed with great details. Nice pose, comp and BG too.

Solid image of a pretty little bird that reminds me of our chickadees.
Lovely BG.
On my monitor I see a purple or magenta cast,

Very simple , well done image. Perhaps just lighten the head a touch.

Yes, you're right Gail, I have corrected it.

Very elegant capture, Frank. I love the pose of this beautifull little bird , good HA , the perch and the awesome complementary bg.

Hi Frank,

I have a group of Marsh Tits nearby but have not managed to get a shot as sweet as this. Very nice indeed - posture, head angle and great background.

What do you think to using a little mask to reduce the sharpening a little on the back and the primaries - in these areas the texture looks a little over sharpened to me - just a small detail.

Regards,

Gerald

About as good as they get Frank, perfect in every way, I'm not picking up any color cast, but my monitor is not pro calibrated

Lovely image, nice and sharp, good perch and tidy BG. Not easy birds to get as they are so small and fast moving, well done.

[Robert Holguin]

Great shot!!
Excellent pose, very nice perch, excellent feather detail, and great background.
Well done.
