Long Tailed Tit- poolside.
Love the back view head turn pose and this is a bit straighter on.

Nothing done to the image apart from cropping.
Does it need NR?
Thnks for looking and comments on last pic.

What a wonderful shot, John.

As for noise reduction, I am trying to work out if that is what I can see on the cheek or if it is a bit of moire. If you do apply NR you need to be very careful or risk losing the detail you have in its plumage. The eye focus is absolutely spot on.

I like the raised tail, look back pose, details and dead leaf perch. I would take a little off the bottom because I OOF foreground isn't adding much. I would run NR on the BG. Another beauty from your pond John.

Beauty John, like the detail and look back pose. Agree the background could use some NR.

One of the great looking birds you have at your pond, John. Nice pose and excellent details.

What a little cutie pie and it's full of feather details. I do love the raised tail and the RP works even better.

[William Dickson]

A wee beauty John. Good work. It reminded me of the image you posted with the three LTT's
