Very nice photo, background works well. I see a little halo on top of bill, I'd remove. Bird is a little too centred, IMO. I'd love to have this one for myself. Been to Europe a few times, never been able to find one of these. Well done, looks like a hybrid of our North American Chickadees (Boreal and Black-Capped)
What a gorgeous little puff ball. The beak and tail are both nice and sharp. The slight blurring around the edges of the bird adds to the cuteness of the shot. My only niggle is that I don't like the broken perch. This is a minor thing. The positives far outweigh the negatives for this shot. Well done.
That is a sharp image of cute puff ball. Love the BKGR too. Love the way that he is sitting atop the perch (which I agree, leaves something to be desired as you noted).
