Blue tit pics
I'm thinking of entering these pics in a Young Photographer competition; I'd value you guys opinion on them. Obviously cant just go out and take a 'report' pic but would love advice too. Thanks.

Well this is tough because they are all pretty good! I love the DOF in these 
#1
Not much I would improve on, perhaps just edit out the orange bit at the very top. If I was taking it again I would try to move closer to the left too - as I think the result would be interesting.
2#
On this one I would have panned out a little and taken the shot vertically to give it a sense of scale.
3#
Again I'd have moved more to the left and included more of the wall in.
But these are just things I'd have tried, and not really C&C I guess lol.

Well Polo, I can't do C& C I am not knowledgable enough to do that, but I really think these are great, you did fantastically well to capture this little bird
I think the first one is wonderful, but the look of determination on the guys face in the second is priceless

Yeah too much background before, try another going even tighter, just to see what it looks like
Ps Keep the foreground though.

Something like this... Remember I have only been taking pics since March so probably best to ask one of the more experienced guys
