Here's another from my garden in France. You're going to get a few more yet I'm afraid. Strictly speaking he's looking out of the frame but I actually quite like it. What do you think?
40D + 400mm DO + 1.4TC. Hand held. ISO 400. F5.6 @ 1/800 sec. Evaluative metering: ec @ -2/3 . Cropped some from bottom and RHS.
The head angle looks just fine to me, nothing wrong with the bird looking out of the frame. More of the same bird? Gee the only problem I have with that is we don't have them here!;) Lovely bird and complimentary BG, maybe sharpen the face just a bit more and maybe just a bit off the left?
Sean, Very nice! Love the BG and perch is nice w/ that little bit at the end! HA and feather details are great! agree a tad more sharpening on face but just a bit.Well done and looking forward to your others.
Fine image Sean !! Don't mind the looking out the frame at all btw have you considered a vertical crop, just a thought !! Looking forward to the others !!!
Lovely Sean. The lighting is superb. Think a little off the left, not sure, you'd have to try it. Maybe just a wee bit of sharpening in the head/eye area. Love it.
Having moved from the UK just over a year and half ago it is nice to see the Blue Tit again. I certainly didn't appreciate them enough when I was in the UK. I have only been birding since moving to Canada and missed out on some incredible species whilst I was growing up there. I look forward to seeing some more UK/European birds.
In terms of the shot itself...I really like the pose and how it is looking out of the frame.
I also agree with Gus on the sharpening.
Blue Tit Yet Again.
