A Great Tit (Parus major) perching on the seed pod of a New Zealand Flax plant (Phormium tenax) and taken yesterday against the background of the Japanese Acer shrub in our garden, whose leaves have just turned to red/orange, with a deeper red to follow, if they don't get prematurely blown off!

Many thanks for your support of my last upload - always much appreciated Smile

Your Acers are coming into their own again as rich backdrops, Sylvia, providing such a rich colour behind the subject.

Excellent in all repects from detail and eye to that superb well thought out background and setup Sylvia. It shows what planning has gone into this shot and the patience of waiting for it to happen
Excellent capture and worthy of the awards

A fantastic image of this handsome little bird Sylvia, he/she is posing beautifully for you and the background is perfect. This one fully deserves all the accolades it has received
