 Picture taken at a local RSPB site. A Blue Tit waits his turn before flying onto a bird table a metre or so away. He was one of many tits around including Great, Marsh, Coal and other birds like Chaffinches, Robins and Nuthatches. Spent a very pleasant hour or two watching and photographing one of my favourite subjects.

Gorgeous! I love how the backdrop complements the colour of the tit's breast; it's pose on the thorny branch and the catchlight in it's eyes. Your composition, with it's use of negative space, is also really strong.

Very prety bird, but too soft either from a big crop or camera movement. Colors and contrast look fine.
