Blue Tit

Labels:
No chance to get out today at any point (too much work on and terribly dull weather), so another Blue Tit from the weekend, when the light was much better. A quick note on cropping: this individual was bang in the middle of the frame in the original image, but I have edited the shot to have the bird very much off-centre. Doing this can, I think, add to a picture's appeal, help retain viewer interest and sometimes add a sense of drama. In this case, it's hard to resist contemplating what the bird was looking at (perhaps he was searching for his missing leg).

Canon 1Ds MkII, Canon 100-400mm IS USM lens, 1/400th sec, f/7. 400mm at ISO 500. Distance to subject: < 4m

    Nice one Tim, I agree with the positioning of the bird, I find myself often making it central and on the odd occasion I think about composition a bit more, it can add to the feel of the picture.
