Blue tit taking flight

Well, here's a blue tit, and they are definitely one of the most charismatic, and cheeky, of all birds in Europe.

Nicely cough but I don't like the light in the picture. And the brown tree(or whatever it is) in the lower left portion of the image is very distracting. Messy background as well.
I hope you can stand some negative criticism as well :)

Johan Lind Thanks David for your comment, I agree that this shot could be improved in several ways like you suggest. I don't agree that the background is messy, why do you find it distracting? Personally I like the action in it.

This shot makes it clear that taking off is not a casual matter, even for birds. It is clearly putting a lot of effort into it. Very intriguing as well as informative shot!

Johan Lind Thanks for your comment Martin, and yes, it doesn't look that trivial to take off. It's quite amazing how at ease they are in fluttering around at low speeds, hovering and maneouvring about.
