    Gorgeous and dynamic! This is indeed a "great tit" man. Love the flight pose, particularly the cocked tail. You could fine tune/soften a few of the background straight away from the bird....just a few noticeable lines that are possibly from post work....looks just fine as is though...cracker!

    Thanks everyone, I brightened the eye, other than that the image is a crop only, I have not done anything to the background.

    What a fun pose! Tack sharp where it needs to be with just enough wing blur.
    I find myself wishing to see the branch that he is jumping from or to as a reference point.
    But pretty special as is,

    That was exactly my thought too Gail - trouble is you would not see a perch it was the feeding station. (Which was 1/2" out of the frame)

    Jonathan I note the comments above, and agree you have got that garden hide producing some smashing images, sharpness is excellent on this bird in flight.

    Cheers Keith.

    Great Image Jon.
    I have tried many times to get a similar image and wished I had a result as good as this. I can't fault it. If it were mine I think I would crop a tiny bit more from the left which would put the birds eye dead centre. That's just personal preference though.
