From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Great Tit is large for a tit at 12.5–14.0 cm (4.9–5.5 in) in length, and has a distinctive appearance that makes it easy to recognise. The nominate race P. major major has a bluish-black crown, black neck, throat, bib and head, and white cheeks and ear coverts. The breast is bright lemon-yellow and there is a broad black mid-line stripe running from the bib to vent. There is a dull white spot on the neck turning to greenish yellow on the upper nape. The rest of the nape and back are green tinged with olive. The wing-coverts are green, the rest of the wing is bluish-grey with a white-wing-bar. The tail is bluish grey with white outer tips. The plumage of the female is similar to that of the male except that the colours are overall duller; the bib is less intensely black,as is the line running down the belly, which is also narrower and sometimes broken. Young birds are like the female, except that they have dull olive-brown napes and necks, greyish rumps, and greyer tails, with less defined white tips.

Photographing birds completely surrounded by white snow is not easy! ... You've handled the exposure levee brilliantly! Congratulations & Thanks for shering.

Hi Razvan,

A lovely shot of this Great Tit surrounded by all the snow. Exposure and focus are excellent. The bright colors are beautiful against the white background. I love the simplicity of the composition. It is most effective.

Ciao Razvan. Fantastic colours in exciting contrast against the snow.

Hello Razvan,
Very clean shot of this small passering, I really like the perfect exposure of the white snow but just the right amount to be detectable. Colors and sharpness are spot on as well. Nisely captured. :)

Buna Razvan ,
O captura excelenta in pofida lipsei de soare si a vremii cetoase.
Detalii foarte bune si contrast excelent.
La noi a fost soare in sfarsit dupa vreo 2 saptamani.....
Numai bine!
Marius.

A fine capture of this pretty great tit on white snow Razvan.
I am pretty sure that it is not easy to apply proper exposure without OE in snowy environments since i've experienced in the past while we were studying with the Taurus frog at the 2600 m elavation. So you've achieved a great job here!
TFS and have a nice new week!
