These perky little birds (the word ‘titmouse’ translates to ‘little bird’) are difficult to photograph as they are constantly on the move. Even when they come to feeders, they will grab a sunflower seed and fly off with it to crack it open and eat it elsewhere.
Terry: I like the light falling on the bird and its pose. Both the bird and the stick behind it form diagonals which are appealing. My only minor suggestion would be to tone down the very bright spot just below the bird’s eye just a bit if possible. Richard
Thanks, Richard. I’ll play a bit with that “spotlight” and see what that does.
Best,
Terry
Good job catching up to the little bird. They are always nice to see. Photo is nice and sharp and well focused. I like the matching stick behind bird also and am glad you included that. I am not sure if you did or had the room but if mine I would have had a look at a crop with more room on left side and less of the little branch sticking out of right side. Well done.
Hi, David. Thanks for your kind comments. That’s a good point you make about the crop. I do have plenty of room on the left side. I’ll take a look at a re-crop. Thanks, again.
Best,
Terry
