It’s a terrific shot – don’t change anything about it…

This is lovely. I know it’s a fine line with nature photography but a bit more saturation would improve this I think…

Thanks Aidan, here’s one from this morning which was in much better light I think…

Definitely the 2nd shot for me. It certainly seems to be the one most suitable for an album cover or promo poster if that makes any sense…

Hi Richie,

There’s lovely light in these but there’s something not quite pleasing me about the composition in them. I think they may be a wee bit cluttered or lacking a definitive focal point (in the 2nd and 3rd at least). In the case of the first I would be more inclined to have it more isolated.

just me tuppence ha’penny…

Yeah it looks more like “Don’t shoot!” to me… ;)

Thanks Mick – it takes a while to gain their trust alright. Although if you can get coal tits to come to your feeders they’re as cheeky as they come…

Fantastic set of shots – 3 & 4 being my favourites…

That’s a good thing so! If you saw the murky, blurry results before I set it up you’d see some difference! :)
In fairness I only set it up to try and catch the buggers in flight – in vain…

Thanks lads – I’m not normally one for bird feeder shots and to be honest was more interested in your thoughts of the effect the flash had on the shot? I wouldn’t ever ordinarily use flash in a wildlife shot but I actually quite like the effect here… Once the rain fecks off I can set up the flash near some bushes which they use as the platform for their feeder raids!

whyulittle – it tooks these lads a few days to find the feeders but once they did – mother of jaysis they’ll have me skint! :)

Thanks for the comments.
