That's a beautiful shot Helen of the Coal Tit. Stand's out well from the dark BK.

Beautiful shot. Sharp with good details. Like the dark BG.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. To be honest, I wish I would have got more of the bill in focus. Practise, practise and more practise!

wonderful!

A very fine image you have here of this little Tit, lovely.

snappa · 6th of August 2006 (Sun)

Very nice shot. But I have to ask a question. Would not the head of the bird have stood out better with a lighter background ?
If Sindri likes the dark background who am I to disagree ?

Hi snappa, fair comment you make there, but to be honest I think the rest of the bird stands out more. Having said that, other similar shots I have are of a light/dark green background. I didn't actually mean for it to be such a dark background, but when I saw it I quite liked it, for a change!

Cheers

You are of course correct, the rest of the bird does stand out more with some very good detail
