Hi folks ... a very clean image of the Blue Tit .
"Easy " made as the subject is baited by food supply .
Hope you like it , some might not like the food in the beak ... I do like it .

Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous postings
I l ike it too. Colours look good and details. I like the pose, perch and background - glad it is not all enrirely green.
In general if it is supplied food I don't mind it if it is not recognisable. (I don't know if I can accurately recognise this but my guess is that this is a piece of peanut.)
Looking good Andreas....Bluetits make really good subjects, as they are so nicely coloured, and you got the colours spot on here....I would remove the food, and then you have a nice 'calling pose'...Which, IMO would enhance the image.
I like this as well Andreas...as Jon stated the food isn't very recognizable, so that helps. I really like these blue tits, wish we had them here. Very pretty birds. Anyway, very sharp and cool pose!
All the technicals are spot on, but I'm not feeling the perch or the food. Is the perch fixed or can you change the angle? The OOF stuff at front/bottom isn't ideal.
Thanks so much folks for your various comments , much appreciated .
Regarding the piece of food in the beak ... i have no real influence about that what the subject is picking at that location , as it is a public park and truck loads of food suppliers running around there .
And i am having no issue with the peanut?? in the beak ... matter of taste .
@ Kevin ... a mealworm is for sure not being and looking a natural food source , at least here So what kind of difference would it make ???
@ Will .... go for it and remove the piece . Have fun with reconstructing the party hidden lower part of the beak
@ Dorian ... sorry that you are not feeling the food and perch , specially the perch is good for my taste ... including the front . But as i placed it there , it could be placed different .
Thanks again for your critique , thatīs what it is about here
