    Geir, this fellow certainly has an array of detail and colours on him, and I like how he is perched on the fork of the branch. A good clean BG for him to stand out against.

    Beautiful tit Geir, I love the colors on this and the BGD is nice and smooth, Great interest from the bird too.

    I also like the colors and BG. I am wondering why the top of the head appears to be shiny and reflective? Was the birds head wet by chance? My only real nit is I wish for a bit more DOF. I find the upper left twig a bit distracting.

    Beautiful bird! Love the perch and background. If mine I'd remove the little white spot from the beak and perhaps remove some blue from the entire bird. To my eyes there is a bit of a blue cast to the dark areas in particular.

    Excellent image of this beautiful bird. I love the tilt of the head and the interesting texture of his perch.

    nice colors, angle and BG. beautiful shot of a goegeous bird. Hard one, I am sure. Suprisingly very sharp at that SS. I'd have increased the ISO to get more DOF.

    A good shot of a European favorite; we have great tits here in China, but they're duller. I like but don't love your perch; love the lichen, don't love the perch blocking out the tail and jutting into the left-hand side of the photo. Kaustubh is right; I'd increase my ISO and go for more DOF.

    Excellent shot. Love the pose and the background. I really like the perch as well. Great feather detail and repost looks much better. Well done.
