    The joys of an English summer, this little blue tit was looking a bit bedraggled.
    All C&C welcome.

    Jon the bird does not look so pretty in that wet and bedraggled state but it's the kind of shot that appeals to me,think I might try a tiny bit off the left but that apart it ticks all the boxes for me,do like the rain drops against that bg.

    Hi Jon, the capture conveys the days of Summer well here, shows the contrast of here and the Californian light.

    Techs look good, if you get a chance, try 1/160 for fun. I think you can afford to loose some off the top without hurting the image. Love the vibrant green of the leaves and detail compared to the bedraggled, muted colours of the Blue tit.

    How is the 500 doing, any more thoughts??

    The conditions were certainly not good but I am sorry Jon it does not gel for me. Sharpness is lacking and a young messy blue tit never makes good pics in my humble opinion. The rain is good but it needs a little more.
