    Managed to capture this Bearded tit on a reserve in the South of England. The books tell me their are only approx 500 breeding pairs in the country.
    I have cloned out distracting reeds in the back ground.

    LA beautiful rendition of the bearded tit if ever I saw one! lovely details and colours,I like the setting but have slight reservation over the bright background, maybe tame it just a little.

    Great capture of a lovely bird. I would prefer a bit more room at left, and a toning-down of the bg. Nice details and exposure on the bird.

    I agree with jonathan on the bright backgroung, it seems to hurt the image a bit. Besides this i like the full set.

    Terrific pose on this lovely bird. Congrats on getting the rarity. The backlighting in this case actually makes this a very interesting shot, IMHO.

    I find this to be a very pleasing and artistic image. Love the artistic feel to it and the pose and lighting are great. I do feel as though your bird needs some more sharpening. I'd like to see a little more feather detail. Well seen and executed.

    I like the pose, perch and beautiful bird. I too would try to tame the brightness at the top of the BG. Nice image Ian.

    Lovely image! I like the composition and the artistic feel for it. I agree a bit more sharpening to bird could improve the details.
