Crested Tit

[Anders Nielsen]

After about an hour this Crested Tit stopped by my feeder. Í like the pose a lot eventhough the tail is out of focus. I have changed the perch at my backyard-feeder because of the comments I got the last time I uploaded a photo. Thanks a lot to all of you who suggested another perch - I can see the improvement myself.

I have cropped the image to about 55% of the original size. Curves. Noisereduction - first on the background then on the Crested Tit. Saturation. Smartsharpen for webpresentation. The eye has been dodged slightly.

I like the inquisitive pose, perch and BG. It looks quite good for ISO 800. I might give it a bit more room on the right and wonder if fill flash might have helped in this situation.
