    I placed peanuts in the bark of the tree in a local park, within minutes I was surrounded by coal tits blue tits great tits and nuthatches.
    I patched the area where the peanuts were inserted, all C & C welcome.

    Jon:

    Nice sense of action here with the raised, blurred foot. Quite surprising that it would show the blur with this shutter speed.
    Sharp, nicely exposed,nice bg colors.

    I might try a version with the LLC just slightly vignetted to downplay that area a bit further. I think cropping more from the left might leave you without enough trunk where the bird is, even if it would help reduce the bulk of the trunk in the LLC a bit.

    Cheers

    Nice detail and exposure on the bird and I really like the nice OOF BG. I think I would tempted to crop a bit more from the bottom to lessen the amount of tree trunk in the image.

    I really like the pose of the bird. The blurred foot is great as it shows movement. Great eye contact, sharp, and real nice background. Well done.

    Very nice pose and exposure...I like the complimentary colors and the blur on the right foot gives the illusion of movement...Nice one Jonathan
