Nice bird, perch, and BG. I might crop a bit off the bottom, left, and right. Thanks for posting!

[Fabs Forns]

I love your caption and explanation :)

I'm fine with the crop, but wish you had not clipped the branch goin down so much, and would get rid of the piece of leaf to the right.

Keep them coming!

[James Salywoda]

I like your composition, pose and bg Well Done! I agree with Fabs on suggestion for cut off branch .

I also like the pose and the clean background overall the image appears muted to me and may need some contrast or a blackpoint correction

[Daniel Cadieux]

I too am fine with the crop, and also agree with Fabs suggestions. John's repost is too saturated.

[Tom Callahan]

I agree with above. On my monitor it seems a bit soft.

[Markus Jais]

beautiful shot. I like the colors and light.
it seems a bit soft on my monitor. I would crop about 5% on the right to get rid of the small green leave there.

the name of the Great Tit is indead funny. Last winter I was photographing Tits in Munich. A tourist came by and asked me in English what I was photographing and I told him "I am looking for Tits, especially Great ones". He looked quite shocked and his wife called me a "pervert" :-)
I tried to explain that I was taking about birds, but they didn't believe me and left.

ROFLMAO :) Just to try and stop any confusion in the future we also have Blue Tits, Bearded Tits, Long Tailed Tits, Crested Tit, Marsh Tit, Willow Tit - thats all I can think off for now :)

Thanks for the comments especially about cutting off the right most leaf and the bottom one - I had not seen them before they were mentioned :)

Hi Tell,
Nice pose, light and BG. Nits mentioned above. Wish I'd payed more attention to the local birds when I was there. All I can remember is all the pheasants.
