Wee blue tit by Mark Coull, on Flickr

Was out for a walk with the dog and other half at the weekend, managed to spot this little thing hiding between the branches. Managed to get my focus point on it. And as a plus the blue tit was looking straight at me! Make sure to click on the image to better see the details of its face.

Very cool mate, totally nailed the focus. I like the arching branch just above it's head too.

You definitely got that focus spot on! Hard to do. Did you have to manually adjust?

Thanks,
I just made sure my single focus point was on him. Because he was darting between all the branches I made sure it was on single p focus to pick him out. The D500 focusing is amazing, if it had been my D7100 I wouldn't of gotten the shot. The lil blue tit stayed still long enough for me to get a good shot.

Great shot! He doesn't look too happy about having his picture taken.
