This photo shows a blue tit captured in mid-air, large in frame and in full focus. The wings are spread, clearly showing both the structure of the feathers and the bird's characteristic posture. The blue of the head and wings contrasts nicely with the yellow of the breast, making the distinctive colours of this species instantly recognisable. The background consists of soft green tones, deliberately kept out of focus, completely detaching the bird from its surroundings and focusing all attention on the subject.
The composition emphasises movement, but at the same time the image exudes tranquillity thanks to the calm background and natural colours. This makes the picture versatile as a wall decoration: fresh, natural and fitting in both modern and classic interiors. The blue tit is a familiar sight in gardens and parks in the Netherlands and symbolises liveliness, playfulness and connection with nature. A detailed and powerful image that shows the beauty of an everyday bird up close.
