Well done Jon, captured beautifully. Lovely detail and colour on the bird, and I like the unusual perch. Lovely BG colours.

Nice! I love the way the perch is following the outside of the bird - different and all the better for it. Looks like good light for shooting LTTs,

I like the composition and bg in this one. It adds that the tit is inside the perch and that the perch bends out in the frame. Nice light as well.

Jon I totally agree with the comments above this is an excellent capture ,I do think the composition makes it.

That's a beauty, Jonathan. I like everything about it, colors, detail on the bird and perch, lovely composition. Thank you for sharing.

Good perch selection and placement in front of a clean BG. If anything I wish for more separation between the bill/throat/belly from the perch, but all else looks darn good.
