Great angle here of the composition. Lovely tones which don't interfere with the suttle parts of the image. Great work and thanks for sharing this on fan art review

Nice pose. Lol. Love the framing. The angle of the shot of this bird posing is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Comment from Shadow catcher


Yes,it does resemble the black-capped chickadees that we have here,ours are happily singing their 'spring song'.Such a sweet little bird,your capture of it is nice and sharp with good lighting and dof.Really like your frame around it,makes it look like a greeting card. Do your coal tits travel in flocks like our chickadees do? A wonderful photo!

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this little Coal Tit waiting it's turn on the feeder below. There are almost always 3 or 4 of them fliting around the garden at any one time.

Beautiful oval frame around your Coal-Tit,captured against various shades of greenery,standing in three-quarter view on a branch,waiting to feed. His resemblance to our Chickadee,is amazing.
Cordially,

    Thanks a million for your review on this little Coal Tit. They do look like a Chickadee but the Latin name is different.

This is a beautiful shot of the bird in its natural surroundings! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

This little guy looks very much like our black capped chickadees! You captured a pretty detailed shot of him. I like how you framed this and the balance created with his placement on the right.

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this little Coal Tit that does look very similar to your Chickadee & is about the same size too.

You have indeed pictured this little charmer well Susan, and the oval framing works exceptionally well for this photo. The light is falling so nicely of the bird and leaves, and with the softened background, the bird is standing out in an excellent way.

Your focus is spot on and sharp showing really clear and well defined details in the bird, and the exposure is very good.

It is a really fine balance in the composition with the bird placed right within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

    Thanks a million for your thoughtful, detailed & complementary review on this little Coal Tit, which I believe is also found in Norway.

    You are right Susan. We have these in Norway as well, and you are more than welcome for the review.

Got lots of these over here! Your lovely image benefits from being well composed, sharp with good exposure. Like the detail in the feathers and branch. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well taken!
