Hi Jon ... sweet image of the very attractive Tit species . Love the classy pose ...
Perch might be a bit massive ... but hey I do like it . Nice structure and the moss is breaking the uniformity . Would have wished for a bit variation in the BG .... does look almost like " green screen " in TV productions .
Lovely fine details in the plumage !!!!
Overall i do think the image is too dark for my personal liking .... and the whites are showing too much of blue I think , just my take.
Just a fine image in the end
Thanks Andreas, I think your comments are good, sometimes i just don't notice things like the whites and then as soon as you mention them it looks obvious! The green background is a grass lawn, I have some perches in front of OOF bushes/trees, I 'll see about a little rearrangement of the "furniture."
