Lovely look at this beautiful bird with a bite of food in it's mouth! It's very nicely framed by the branches. Lovely light and color. I also enjoyed the information you provided.

A very nice nature shot posted here! Your fine, traditional and off-centre composition offers us an enjoyable look at your lovely Great Tit and his location. Looks like he has a bit of food in his beak? Bread maybe? Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

nice capture of the bird, just pity he is a bit lost on the dark and busy background

try to use a small F in order to make the background blur

thanks for sharing

    Galia,
    Thanks a million for your review.
    Because these birds move so quickly all I can do to capture them is to point & shoot with the camera, there is NO time to fiddle with setting all all I would get is the bush.

A very nice shot. I like the way he seems almost hidden in that dense fuchsia bush. The composition is attractive and the colors are beautiful.

Lovely composition here and the background contrasts nicely in the overall composition. Colours work well with each other for good depth. Well done and thanks for sharing

I have a feeling that you just love to photograph birds, and you have pictured this Great Tit so well. I especially like the vignette you have added holding the composition together, and also how the branches are working as a nice and natural framing.

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

The format and framing works well and the bird has got a fine placement off to the right. This is such a sweet and well taken photo Susan, and with an excellent DOF.

    Annie,
    Thanks a million for your complementary review & kind words.I feel so lucky to have a garden where the birds are happy to visit in relative safety. ( There are three cats living in these 17 houses) as safe as Juno can keep them. She thinks all cats are put on this earth for her to chase... On a sunny morning I have to stop myself after taking up to 50 pictures. The joys of Retirement...

Wonderful capture of tiny bird in the bush. I love how you caught the sun just peering in around the bird's face. Excellent focus and beautiful lighting. Great details, good depth, and very well framed. I love his little yellow belly

Comment from alaskapat


Well this is the first great tit that I have seen and I like his black head with the patch of white and that pretty yellow breast with the yellow and grey wings, he is in a good position in the frame and has allowed a good look at his face , beak with seed and his eye, I see a catch light ! Well focused, he is clear and well exposed, his colors appear natural. Composition is allowing a good sense of his location! Well presented!

Comment from gswan


This is a beautiful image. I like the way different parts of the tree surround the bird acting as a framing device. What's also noticeable is the positioning of the bird slightly to the right to show its the main subject. This is excellent composition.
