    Another nice Titmouse shot. The bird might stand being a bit brighter. Now, if you could somehow combine this shot - with feet showing and no blue streak - with the previous one that had his crest up...........

    Hi John,
    A very nice bird, perched on ice (could do with cooler weather here in Brisbane..mid 30's C). Good HA, clarity and details. I don't mind the blue streaks at perch level, but not so sure about the blue running across the bird's neck area.

    This one kills the first one with the fabulous view of the feet and the bird up on the ridge. The whole bird is too dark (as per Bill Dix).

    Agree that the bird could go lighter, but I really like this one. Love the pose and setting. This is a bird I have a really tough time photographing, despite seeing them at feeders quite a lot. Envious of this one! TFS

    Thanks Alex, They come to the feeder setup all day long. But they never stand still constantly bouncing around.

    I like the pose, winter setting and repost looks better to me. Good image of a difficult bird to get!

    Repost is better but grays and face could go lighter still :)
