Great Tits are pretty common in the UK but for some reason I have struggled to get good shots of them. Although it's 'work in progress' (life is a bit like that ) these are the best so far ........

Quite a nice set of images David. The first and last are my faves. Chickadees (tits) are common here, and I cannot get a great image of one after lots of attempts, so I understand your challenges. At least you've tamed your demon, as these are good!

Definitely they are great tits and colorful, David. First, I thought I would enter the wrong forum .
You had great background and the perch is so nice. Love your birds, David. Great set.

Any time you are faced with a subject that has both black and white it’s going to be a tricky capture. My approach is to nail the whites and recover the blacks. Fill flash will help bring out detail in the blacks and create some nice catch light in the eyes. The 5th has the best whites and blacks and a super background so it’s my pick of the closer photos. I’m fond of the last as well as it’s a very nice environmental portrait.
