Blue Tit - On the Ground

[SeanKP]

In an attempt to add a touch of variety into the many blue tit shots taken in my garden recently I decided to take a few shots of them at ground level.

Lying on my belly. 40D + 400mm DO + 1.4TC. Hand held. ISO 400. F5.6 @ 1/800 sec. Evaluative metering. -1/3 exposure comp.

Critiques as always welcome.

Cheers.

Sean, This is my favorite of the series! Love the feather detail and HA. BG is lovely and I like the angle.

Now that's a great shot of the Blue Tit, colours, sharpness and composition.

Well done and thanks for sharing

Hi Sean,
I like the image and capture...you have good sharp details and nice colors...suggestion; I would crop 1/4 from the right of the frame to bring your subject to the 1/3 rule quadrant. also clone out the brown leaf at the bottom right and you got yourself a wall hanger...good show...:cool:
